Liverpool Enter the Race for PSG Prospect Ibrahim Mbaye

English club Liverpool are carefully exploring the possibility of signing Paris Saint-Germain’s young winger Ibrahim Mbaye. According to GiveMeSport, the 18-year-old wants to leave France during the summer transfer window to get more playing time and is ready to move to Merseyside. Goal.com reports .

Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly planning to demand at least €50 million for the talented forward. Although Liverpool have not yet made an official offer, the player himself views a move to the Premier League positively. However, the Merseyside club are not alone in the race.

Bayer Leverkusen Mount Serious Challenge

German club Bayer Leverkusen have already entered direct talks with the Parisian club over Ibrahim Mbaye’s transfer. The warm relationship between the two clubs’ executives — Nasser Al-Khelaifi and Fernando Carro — is giving the German side an advantage in negotiations, and they have already made significant progress.

Nevertheless, the player himself is ready to consider all options and would gladly accept an official offer from Liverpool. The Senegalese winger, who made 24 Ligue 1 appearances last season and scored three goals, is being deprived of regular playing time in Paris due to increased competition.

Difficulties in the Bradley Barcola Transfer

The intensifying competition within Paris Saint-Germain’s squad and plans for new signings have cast doubt over Mbaye’s future. The club are currently close to signing Monaco forward Maghnes Akliouche for €50 million, which would further limit the young player’s opportunities.

Liverpool are reportedly monitoring not only Mbaye but also another Parisian winger, Bradley Barcola. The English club are ready to offer €100 million for the France international, who also wants to move to Liverpool. However, negotiations have stalled because of the huge €170 million price tag demanded by Paris Saint-Germain.
