ARSENAL and Liverpool are both exploring the possibility of signing Kylian Mbappe, according to reports.
The 24-year-old’s current contract with Paris Saint-Germain is set to expire in June, meaning he will become a free agent if he decides against renewing.
Mbappe can start negotiating terms with other clubs from January 1, with several European sides already understood to be interested.
And according to the Daily Record, Premier League giants Arsenal and Liverpool are among his potential suitors.
Both clubs are said to be “exploring the financial and sporting parameters involved” in signing the Frenchman.

The Gunners have already been linked with a move for Ivan Toney and Victor Osimhen ahead of the January transfer window.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are long-term admirers of Mbappe, with Jurgen Klopp a known fan.
Real Madrid have also held an interest in him for several years.
Los Blancos came close to signing him in the summer of 2022, but he shocked the world by penning a two-year extension with PSG instead.

The forward turned down a world-record offer from Al-Hilal this summer after the Saudi Pro League side had a £259million bid accepted.
Mbappe was subsequently sent to train with PSG’s “undesirables” – a group of senior players that were transfer listed by the club prior to deadline day.
However, he made a quick return to the first team and has since scored 17 goals in 17 appearances across all competitions this season.
