Kylian Mbappe is a name that will not disappear from Liverpool.
The French forward, who is entering the final six months of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, has the right to negotiate a possible transfer with the clubs until the summer.
Liverpool are again seen as a potential destination for the prolific forward, who could sign him on a free at the end of the current season when his current contract expires.
However, Mbappe is not the only player Liverpool can sign on a free transfer. Below we review five different titles that focus on pre-contractual engagement.
Mario Hermoso, Atletico Madrid
The 28-year-old centre-back started his career at Spanish giants Real Madrid and currently plays for local rivals Atletico. Hermoso has made over 150 appearances for Diego Simeone and could provide Liverpool with much-needed depth in an unexpected area of ​​the pitch.It remains to be seen what Joel Matip’s future will be at the club, with the Cameroonian also out of contract in the coming months. If Matip is to be moved by the Reds, the need for signings in this area will increase.
Adrien Rabiot, Juventus
The French midfielder has been linked with Liverpool several times in the past and is once again facing uncertainty over his future.
Rabiot was due to leave Juventus last summer but decided in June to extend his stay in Italy for another year. A player of his caliber will not be overlooked if Liverpool get a deal done this month ahead of the summer transfer window.
Lloyd Kelly, Bournemouth
Another defensive option for Liverpool is Bournemouth’s Lloyd Kelly.
The former Bristol City star can play at centre-back or left-back, giving the Reds more options against a backline that could soon need an overhaul. Still only 25, Kelly still has plenty of time to compete at the highest level and will boost Liverpool’s domestic share in the process.
He is currently injured for “two weeks” after the win against Sheffield United. It is unlikely to be a problem when he moves to Anfield in the summer.
Piotr Zielinski,
Naples Pole almost became a Liverpool player in 2016 and even wore a red shirt with his name on the back, later signing for Napoli. Zielinski has remained at the Italian club ever since and has been an excellent servant to his current employers over the years.
Inter and West Ham are also interested in the 29-year-old, meaning Liverpool will need to act quickly to reach a deal.
