11:20: Liverpool target Kylian Mbappe should reject a move to the Premier League and instead join PSG.
Liverpool are said to have been in contact with Monaco regarding a deal for Mbappe.
The 18-year—old is the most sought-after player in Europe right now, with Arsenal, the two Manchester clubs, PSG, Real Madrid and Barcelona all linked.
But PSG boss Unai Emery says the France international should remain in Ligue 1.
“In Spain, everybody is talking about Barcelona and Real Madrid when it comes to Mbappe, but I am at PSG and I tell him there is nothing better than to represent a French team,” Emery told EFE.
“With all due respect to Monaco, he comes from Paris and his family lives in Paris. That is just an observation I make.
“Of course, had I coached Albacete, I would have wanted him to go there. Or if I had been in Australia, I would have liked to see him there.
“We are talking about a certain feeling, passion, a desire to play for the team of your city and to be important. I am obviously biased as PSG coach, but that is my feeling. His parents live in Paris and he was raised here.
“Of course, Monaco like him because he is grateful, but if he were to leave Monaco, what better feeling than to come to PSG and play for the team of your city.”
