A number of Liverpool fans have been reacting to the latest update on Kylian Mbappe, as the forward's future continues to dominate the headlines.

The 22-year-old is one of the world's best players currently, performing at a consistently world-class level for Paris Saint-Germain.

Mbappe has now scored 116 goals in just 157 appearances for the Ligue 1 champions, outlining why he is seen as such a special talent for years to come.

The £162million-rated (Transfermarkt) superstar's contract expires at the end of next season and he is yet to agree a new deal at PSG, raising doubts over his future.

Both Liverpool and Real Madrid have long been considered the front-runners to snap up the France international, with a potential summer switch on the cards.

Now, a fresh update has been provided, with L'Equipe [via Sport Witness], claiming that the Reds have a 'real chance' of getting their man.

Mbappe is still believed to be 'taking his time' over signing a new contract, giving Jurgen Klopp and Michael Edwards hope of a deal happening.
