Nike are set to become Liverpool's new sponsors after the club won their High Court battle with New Balance, and fans are already speculating about future transfers.

Liverpool were in a bitter dispute with their current kit supplier, who claimed their contract allowed them to match any offer from another brand.

But the European powerhouse eventually ended that deal on Friday and are ready to pen a lucrative deal with Nike driven by revenue opportunities.

The Reds are set to receive a guaranteed £30 million from Nike as the likes of LeBron James, who is part owner of Liverpool, Drake and Serena Williams are set to promote the new kit.

In fact, Liverpool fans are so enthusiastic about the deal that they believe one of the biggest stars in world football, Kylian Mbappe, will sign for the club next year.

#Mbappe2020 became a worldwide trend on social media following the news that the Premier League leaders could sign with Nike.




It's common knowledge that Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp tried to convince Kylian Mbappe to join the club during his spell at AS Monaco.

He spent 'several hours' speaking to the French forward in 2016/17, according to French publication L'Equipe.

Klopp showered Mbappe with praise ahead of Liverpool's Champions League clash against PSG last season.

"I love him, to be honest. What a player he is and a nice lad as well, so he's a really good kid," Klopp told RMC Sport.

"What a player, what a player.

"Everyone knows him since he was 16, 17, when he impressed in Monaco's youth teams, and I saw videos of him when he was 17 and he destroyed defensive lines as he is doing now.

"He's at an unbelievable level of consistency at that age. He's an outstanding player, that's clear, but he can deliver, deliver and deliver, which shows he's really good educated boy and he knows what he is doing."

Do you think Mbappe would join Liverpool next season?
