Transfer window: Liverpool step up pursuit of Ibrahim Mbaye

Liverpool have decided to bet on youth to bolster their attacking options. Following Mohamed Salah’s departure, the Reds are exploring several options to revamp their right flank and have placed Ibrahim Mbaye among their top priorities. According to RMC Sport, the English club is pushing to sign the Paris Saint-Germain winger, who is said to have agreed to join Anfield.

Liverpool have decided to rely on youth to strengthen their attack. With Mohamed Salah gone, the Reds are exploring various options to refresh their right-wing play and have put Ibrahim Mbaye high on their wishlist. RMC Sport reports that the English club is making a concerted effort to land the Paris Saint-Germain winger, who has reportedly given the green light to a move to Anfield.

Talks between Liverpool and PSG are expected to begin soon as both sides look for common ground regarding the transfer of the 18-year-old. No official offer has been made yet, but the Reds’ interest is genuine. At the same time, Liverpool are also keeping tabs on Bradley Barcola, another attacking profile highly regarded by the English club’s decision-makers.

A move for Ibrahim Mbaye is taking shape

Ibrahim Mbaye’s future at Paris Saint-Germain now appears uncertain. The young Senegalese forward, seen as one of the brightest prospects in PSG’s youth academy, looks set to be on the market this summer, with the capital club not ruling out a departure.

Several European clubs have already shown interest in Mbaye. Bayer Leverkusen, in particular, is reportedly in talks with PSG, with discussions involving key figures from both clubs, including Nasser Al-Khelaïfi and Fernando Carro.

However, Liverpool stands out as an especially attractive destination for the youngster. The Reds’ project, renowned for nurturing and developing young talents, aligns perfectly with the Senegalese forward’s ambitions.

A promising start with PSG

Despite his youth, Ibrahim Mbaye has already come close to top-level football with Paris Saint-Germain. Having come through the club’s academy, he gradually joined the first-team squad thanks to his technical skills and ability to make an impact down the flanks.

Last season, the Senegalese winger featured in several matches with PSG’s senior side, mainly in domestic and European competitions, while continuing his development with the youth teams. He also impressed during pre-season, where his explosiveness and courage in one-on-one situations caught the eye.

His profile is admired for his ability to beat defenders one-on-one, his directness, and his knack for attacking open spaces. These attributes fit perfectly with what Liverpool are seeking—a player who can bring depth and creativity to the right wing.
