Tuesday morning's Liverpool transfer talk news roundup:


Chelsea 'only Premier League club to have offered David Alaba contract'

Chelsea are reportedly the only Premier League club to have offered a contract to Bayern Munich defender David Alaba.

The Austrian international's current deal expires this summer and he is expected to leave the club, following the arrival of RB Leipzig centre-back Dayot Upamecano in July.

90min reports that Real Madrid remain the favourites for Alaba's signature, although Chelsea are still interested in the 28-year-old and are the only English top-flight club at present to have tabled an offer.

Premier League champions Liverpool and Manchester City were understood to have previously been interested in Alaba, who is considering the possibility of playing in England, however both clubs made it clear to the player's camp that they have decided against a move for the defender.

Bayern are understood to want to keep the Austrian, although Alaba is now at the stage of his career where he wishes to seek a fresh challenge and would prefer to move to Spain.

Alaba, who has made over 400 appearances for the German giants since joining in 2009, has won nine Bundesliga titles as well as two Champions League triumphs.



Kylian Mbappe 'decides to leave Paris Saint-Germain in 2022'

Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe has reportedly decided to leave the French champions when his contract expires in 2022.

The World Cup-winning Frenchman previously confirmed that talks over a new deal with PSG were underway, but he has remained undecided on his future so far.

Mbappe continues to be linked with big-money moves to either Real Madrid or Liverpool, and a switch to another top European side could supposedly end up becoming a reality in 18 months' time.

According to Diario Sport, Mbappe's entourage have been in frequent discussions with PSG over his future, and he will honour his current contract until it runs out in the summer of 2022.

However, if Real Madrid or Liverpool were to make an offer for the Frenchman before his deal expires, PSG would reportedly demand a world-record fee for the former Monaco man.

Mbappe, who has reportedly grown close with Real manager Zinedine Zidane, is the top scorer in Ligue 1 this season with 16 goals from 21 matches.
