Paris Saint-Germain teenager Ibrahim Mbaye “likes” the idea of sealing a move to Liverpool this summer, according to a new claim from Fabrizio Romano. That search has led them to PSG’s Ibrahim Mbaye.

“United were linked with an approach for the Senegal international earlier this week, with reports in Spain claiming Old Trafford chiefs have already made contact with PSG over a potential deal, while Liverpool and Aston Villa have also been credited with interest.” But thankfully, Romano appears to have shot down those claims, providing a Monday morning update on X, saying: “Ibrahim Mbaye can also leave Paris Saint-Germain soon with talks taking place. Liverpool spoke to his agent Mendes and Mbaye likes LFC project but the valuation made by PSG currently deemed as too high.” Bradley Barcola AND Ibrahim Mbaye to Liverpool this week?

This is another positive update regarding Liverpool’s pursuit of Mbaye, and as is the case with Bradley Barcola, it just seems to be a case of agreeing a fee with Paris Saint-Germain. It has been a frustrating summer in the transfer market at Liverpool, but they have now reached a crunch point, and it is essential that they nail their late business.
