Jürgen Klopp, speaking on the "Magenta TV" show, revealed how Kylian Mbappé was secretly lured to move to the Liverpool team. The nets were cast for him back when he shone at AS Monaco in his first year as a professional football player.

The German said: "We flew from Liverpool to Blackpool, and then to Nice (the city near Monaco).

In Nice, all of Mbappé's family boarded a private jet with five different rooms. We then started to fly in circles, talked with the family, and ate very delicious food.

No one could see us. Everything was great... still, in the end, he decided to move to play in Paris."

After the Morocco and France quarter-final matches, J. Klopp warmly greeted K. Mbappé, and then the strategist waved to the Frenchman's mother, who is a big Liverpool fan.
