Liverpool’s hopes of landing Paris Saint Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe may have taken a hit.
Over the last few seasons, Mbappe has been heavily linked with a move away from the Parc des Princes club.
However, the Frenchman made a last-minute U-turn back in 2022 to reject a move to Spanish La Liga side Real Madrid and ended up signing a new deal with PSG.
Earlier in the month, it was reported that Liverpool have become the most credible and dangerous candidate for PSG regarding Mbappe’s future.

However, in recent days, Liverpool’s chances of signing Mbappe may have taken a hit.
This is due to the fact that Mbappe was seen chatting with David Beckham at PSG's Camp des Loges training facility.
The Englishman was in Paris for the NBA event and spent time at his old club's facilities.
Although the details of the conversation is unknown, Beckham, being a former Madrid and Manchester United player could have urged Mbappe to reject Liverpool.
Last week, the PSG star spoke about his future after winning the French Super Cup.
Mbappe said: “First of all, I am very, very, very motivated for this year. It is very important. As I said, we have titles to chase and we've already won one, so that's already done. After that, no, I haven't made a decision yet.
“In any case, with the agreement I made with the president this summer, it does not matter what he decides. We manage to protect all parties and preserve the serenity of the club for the challenges that lie ahead, which continues to be the most important thing.”
He continued: “So we'll say it's secondary. I think it was at the end of May 2022 because I didn't know until May. But if I know what I want to do, why drag it out? It just doesn't make sense.”
Aside from Mbappe’s wishes, Liverpool could be face with a big financial problem if they are serious about signing the Frenchman.
It has previously been reported that Mbappe is currently on a salary of €75 million, which is way above Liverpool’s wage structure.
