There is little to no chance we sign him and one of the big 3 doesn't go. All 3 will be in their 30s at the start of next season.
What about if ticket prices soared?
If we don't get him, I personally will not be unhappy. Even with the massive debt, the club has spent considerably. The net spend is higher than City's for now.

Liverpool and Real Madrid will both try to sign France striker Kylian Mbappe, 21, from Paris St-Germain next summer. (L'Equipe - in French)
It's on!
It's on!
What's to stop PSG paying him £1m a week?
It's all about what Mbappe wants. He's gonna join us to win shit. Not just the money.
They are 29 next summer
IDK, Mbappe joining may add more value to the club than the transfer fee costs. His partnership with Nike, Lebron and Air Jordan could be exploited for hundreds of millions in the US. He guarantees us being one of if not the biggest club in the world for the duration of his contract. Its one of those deals that could be swung if you're looking at it differently. All depends if Mbappe is willing to have parity with Salah and Mane or he demands way more.
I'm okay with losing one of the big 3 for this deal but if they stayed I think we'd have to be playing a 4-2-3-1 in most games then.... would that be more effective than our current big game first XI.

Less than a 1% chance that we can sign Mbappe. And the small chance we have would require us to sell one of Salah or Mane.
Even if we did sign him, no idea how we'd afford his astronomical wages. He's presently on 375k a week. His next contract could well be close to 500k a week.

That assuming he wouldn't take a pay cut to join us.
Sounds mad, but consider that VVD, Mane, Salah, & probably a few others, could all join other sides & be paid a LOT more cash, yet haven't done so.
The draw of Klopp, the draw of our fanatical global fan base, the increased global status that brings (esp in the US of late), & the real possibility of winning the best & biggest shiny things every season, count for a lot.
As for selling Salah/Mane, I'd be amazed if we don't let one go next summer, financially you'd sell with at least one or two peak years left in them to maximise their value before it begins to drop.
Let's be honest, we all like to think we know what Edwards and FSG are up to, but we haven't a scooby.
They only show you cards they want you to see and they don't always even have those! Anything could happen.
You can obviously see the playing side appeal. It's very hard to know what kind of positive financial impact he could have, to offset the massive cost.

You are correct, 2 of them turn 30 during the season. For some reason I thought they were 29 now.
If we did, I think we'd crash this site, Twitter and every other LFC site on the planet. Peak fucking excitement.
I still feel like that about signing Thiago tbh. Definitely an element of the surreal to it.
Mbappe would be like that x 1000.
Yous are mental even half seriously entertaining this.
Klopp has been chatting to Mbappe consistently since he was at Monaco. He goes to hangout with Lebron during the summer. This is so on... There will be new Mbappe cleats all over to the world and we'll want some of the future revenue getting those young supporters on board guarantees.
There's also a decent chance he might score lots of goals, continue to improve and develop the potential and become a truly world class player helping us win numerous trophies
I agree with Hal ... and I know he's actually serious this time !
That means it's on, lads!!
I think one of our front 3 will retire here, I actually think all 3 of them could stay here until 32 or so, but begin to accept a more part time role and then swan off to Italy for a final paycheck
Shut it wetwetdreambeliever.
Trust Edwards to do something mental like structuring the payment for 20 years or something. And paying only 10 Mil a year, with Nike paying half of it.
