Kylian Mbappe was warned that if he ever moved to Anfield, he would face a fight to break into Liverpool’s starting XI.
This is the view of the Reds legend Bruce Grobbelaar.
The French international has repeatedly been associated with a speculative move to Jürgen Klopp in recent months, with his long-term future in Paris-Saint-Germain questionable.
Real Madrid are also said to be interested in signing the World Cup winner, although the coronavirus pandemic may have caused the 21-year-old to stay in Paris for at least one more season.
And while Mbappe is one of the most outstanding talents in the world, the former Red goalkeeper Grobbelaar believes that he wouldn’t necessarily disband Klopp’s famous Front 3 by Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino.

“Well, when he comes to Anfield, he definitely has to prove himself from the start. And only if he comes,” said Grobbelaar to Stats Perform News, quoted by Goal.
“We don’t know what the situation is. It’s up to Klopp and FSG, who will probably reveal something in the new season.

“But whoever comes to Anfield, as you can see [Takumi] Minamino, he still needs to improve a lot to get to the side. ”
Liverpool is unlikely to switch to Mbappe soon as the finance is needed for such a deal.
After seeing how his former team won the last division of the Premier League, Grobbelaar believes that any player who doesn’t want to go to the Reds must see a doctor.
“The squad is brilliant at this point. It is up to the FSG and the Klopp consultants to decide whether these players go or stay,” he said. “I think they will go because they want soccer for the first team.
“Listen, at this point everyone wants to play for Liverpool because we are the defending champions of the Premier League and everyone who doesn’t have to go to the doctor very quickly because we are the best team and we will be.” the best team in so many years. “
