Liverpool have been regularly linked with a move for the teenager, who struck 26 goals as Monaco won Ligue 1 last season.
Few had heard of the 18-year-old this time last year but, 12 months down the line, he is one of Europe's most in-demand players.
Real Madrid and Manchester City are keen to snap him up, despite Monaco slapping a huge £160million price tag on him.
Liverpool were credited with interest earlier this summer but recent reports have suggested Jurgen Klopp has instead been focusing his efforts on RB Leipzig's Naby Keita and Southampton's Virgil van Dijk.
Liverpool remain in a transfer battle for Monaco star Kylian Mbappe
Yet French newspaper L'Equipe say the Reds still remain in the battle to secure his signature.
Klopp has already completed transfers for Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson and Dominic Solanke but the Reds are still crying out for a striker.
And Mbappe would fit the bill after impressing for Leonardo Jardim's side.
However, Real Madrid are named as frontrunners for his signature.
