Kylian Mbappe sensationally backed to REJECT Real Madrid transfer and join Liverpool as France legend Robert Pires claims PSG superstar could form 'explosive' partnership with Mohamed Salah

The France forward is expected to complete a long-awaited free transfer to the Spanish giants when his contract expires this summer. However, former France and Arsenal star Robert Pires feels he should follow in his footsteps and reject Madrid for a move to England.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Pires would rather see the 25-year-old form a fantastic partnership with Egypt sensation Mohamed Salah at Anfield than link up with the likes of Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo at the Santiago Bernabeu next season.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Pires said to <a href="https://twitter.com/lemediacarre?lang=en" target="_blank">Le Media Carre</a>: “I’m sorry, Kylian, but you weren’t the first player to say no to Real Madrid. I don’t know what decision he will make in the end, but I turned Madrid down because I had two other options. I’m sure that if I didn’t have the opportunity of going to Arsenal or Juventus I would have gone to Real Madrid. That’s for sure."I would like to see him at Liverpool. It’s a great family club, there’s a good structure, no pressure, the fans are level-headed... And I think a Salah-Mbappe partnership could be really explosive. I think he is capable of rejecting Real Madrid."

WHAT PIRES SAID

Mbappe has denied claims he has already agreed to join Madrid from PSG this summer, while <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/kylian-mbappe-stay-psg-luis-enrique-convince-real-madrid/blt627f67896de91cf5" target="_blank">coach Luis Enrique has not given up hope of convincing him to stay</a> at the French giants for at least one more season.
