For being a diva, the 80 million euros that keep Mbappé away from Liverpool

After a disappointing season, Liverpool are planning to return to the international stage for next season. While Jürgen Klopp's team is currently playing in a tournament of little relevance such as the Europa League, the Reds' managers are planning what will be the start of the 2024/25 season despite the fact that there are still several months to go make this happen.

For this reason, according to information provided by the BBC in England, Liverpool would be looking to finalize the signing of Kylian Mbappé in order to participate in the next edition of the Champions League. However, recently, negotiations between the English team and PSG have cooled, since the Frenchman has not made a decision regarding his future. Plus, with Real Madrid looming, they make negotiations really difficult to handle.

In this context, the Reds have set their sights on another forward who has been struggling in the Champions League. Liverpool have set their sights on the Bundesliga, specifically on Lois Openda, the impressive RB Leipzig striker. Sacha Tavolieri reveals that Jürgen Klopp and his team are firmly interested in signing the talented Belgian striker, who has caused a sensation with his performances in the Bundesliga and who has just scored a double against Manchester City.

The money Liverpool should spend on Openda

Liverpool could face a huge financial hurdle as Openda's contract has an €80m release clause, which will only be activated in 2025. If the Reds or any other club wish to secure his services before then, it could require the disbursement of a considerable bonus, possibly exceeding 100 million euros. In this way, the board of the Anfield team will have to resolve the situation quickly if they do not want to put millions more on the table.
