Ibrahim Mbaye: Paris demands €70 million from Liverpool

The tug-of-war is heating up between Paris and Liverpool over Ibrahim Mbaye. With just days left in the transfer window, PSG has set the price for their 18-year-old Senegalese international striker.

According to journalist Fabrice Hawkins of RMC Sport, the European champions are demanding €70 million to let Ibrahim Mbaye go. That figure is well above his current estimated value, which hovers around €30 million according to Transfermarkt. Under contract with Paris Saint-Germain until 2028, the Senegalese forward is considered a gem by the PSG hierarchy. They have no intention of letting him leave for a bargain and are refusing to make any concessions.

An agreement with the player

On the personal side, everything is wrapped up. Liverpool has reached an agreement with the player. Attracted by the Premier League project, Ibrahim Mbaye has turned down other European offers to prioritize the Merseyside club. A five-year contract reportedly awaits him. The stumbling block lies between the clubs. The Reds consider the price tag too high for a player who still has limited experience at the professional level. Last season, he played 24 matches in Ligue 1, including 10 starts.

A proven profile for the national team

Despite his young age, Mbaye has already hit several important milestones. With the Lions of Teranga, he has 15 caps and 4 goals to his name. He also made his mark at the World Cup, featuring in four matches and scoring against France in a 3-2 defeat. Before that, he shone at the Africa Cup of Nations, making explosive appearances all the way to the final. With such potential, Paris is determined to maximize his value.
