Liverpool are genuine contenders to sign Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe next summer.
The France forward is out of contract in June 2024 and free to negotiate with foreign clubs from January 1.
Many felt this would be Mbappe's last season at PSG following a high-profile fallout with the club over the summer.
However, the 24-year-old could yet make another U-turn after being impressed with the new regime in Paris.
Madrid have always been frontrunners for Mbappe's signature but Liverpool are often linked with the former Monaco star after talks with Jurgen Klopp in 2017.
Speaking to talkSPORT, L'Equipe journalist Loic Tanzi insists the Reds have a real chance to sign Mbappe - but only if Madrid pull out of the race.
"Liverpool wanted him when he was playing for Monaco," Tanzi said before PSG's 1-1 draw with Newcastle on Tuesday night.
"Klopp went to see him and they were negotiating while they were on the plane.
"The relationship between him, Liverpool, and Klopp is there. I think they have a chance.
"If Madrid decide to let him go, and they don't want him anymore, I think Liverpool have a chance."
It is understood Mbappe's decision revolves around winning the Champions League and propelling himself into Ballon d'Or contention.
Tanzi added: "Mbappe loves Paris Saint-Germain. He's a young man from the area around Paris.
Andy Townsend says Chelsea could sign Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham and Simon Jordan 'would still be wrong' about them winning the Premier League title
"If you asked me the question during the summer, I would say 100 per cent he would leave at the end of the season.
"I'm not so sure now - because winning the Champions League here in Paris is more important than winning the Champions League in Madrid.
"Winning just one Champions League here is more important than winning two or three at Madrid or Liverpool, for example, because we know Liverpool want him as well.
"So I think they can convince him to stay - because the new project is built around him. That's what he wants. He wants more responsibility.
"He wants to feel that the club can do it. If he does not think they can win the Champions League, he will leave."

Liverpool shouldn't sign Mbappe. He'll impose himself on others and create division in the team. We don't need an attacker for now. We need a midfielder and two more very good defenders in place of Matip/Kanote and Anold. TAA should be mobilised to the midfield.

I’m a Liverpool fan I know my club they can’t sign mbappe that’s why I’m not reading any headlines concerning Liverpool and mbappe transfer
Trent and Gomez can fill RB positions. We have Endo, Thiago and McAllister are in the Dm position. Sell Salah to saudi and get Mbappe

Mbappe to Liverpool will make football most delightful. Even a two year contract with Liverpool by Mbappe will make Liverpool most formidable world beater in football.
But with his attitude am not so sure of that

IF madrid pull out, there will be plenty of club come in. Liverpool need $ to fill in DM RB, no budget for this high profile. Even we sell salah will not ease the budget

The raw Mbappe from monaco would've thrived under Kloop but this PSG one I highly doubt honestly

His style of play, the fighting spirit and gaols are welcome but with his attitude I'm not so sure it would be a great idea

He is good but his demand for wages will be toxic for the dressing room, so the club will be better not to try to sign him up 🤷🏻♂️

Liverpool doesn’t seem like a team that would change their wage structure for one player.

If we sign mbappe we klopp has to go cos we can’t have 2 coaches in a team. Mbappe is the owner , coach, and also a player of PSG
