Liverpool FC NewsTransfer NewsLiverpool FCIbrahim Mbaye is one of the players being considered by Liverpool this summer as sporting director Richard Hughes seeks to increase the options available to Andoni IraolaIbrahim Mbaye is being linked with Liverpool(Image: Jean Catuffe/Getty Images)Liverpool is considering a transfer move for Ibrahim Mbaye, the 18-year-old PSG forward, this summer, with the Reds hoping to bolster their attacking ranks before the September 1 deadline.Another PSG star, Bradley Barcola, is another major target for Andoni Iraola's men. Like Mbaye, he is thought to be open to an exit in a bid to get more regular game time elsewhere amid strong competition for places at the Parc des Princes.It is understood that Mbaye is one of several players who will come under consideration at Anfield in the coming weeks, with nothing advanced at this stage in terms of either talks or a bid.With Mohamed Salah having departed at the end of last season, Liverpool needed more pace and width in its forward line heading into the summer.Victor Munoz has come in from Osasuna, while Rio Ngumoha could take the next steps in his development having shown more promising signs during pre-season.Cody Gakpo is also currently on Liverpool's books, but there have been links to Tottenham, who appear to be keen on the Dutch international, who only signed a contract extension last year.Mbaye celebrates scoring against Lens(Image: Jean Catuffe/Getty Images)Bayer Leverkusen is said to have already held talks to sign Mbaye, while RB Leipzig was also keen as part of the deal that would have seen Yan Diomande head to Paris.That fell through, though, when Real Madrid stole in ahead of Luis Enrique's side for that transfer.
Diomande is another who Liverpool considered before he opted against signing for the Reds.Mbaye is left-footed but tends to come inside from the right flank, which is a role that Liverpool's current roster lacks."Where we are right now, and there is still a month to go transfer-wise, I can only see Arsenal or Man City (winning the league)," Reds legend Jamie Carragher told The Football Ramble this week.Get Liverpool's new 2026/27 home kitThis article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.

They are supposed to be going for Barcola, and I'm sitting there scratching my head thinking the manager and the people sorting the transfers out know a lot more than I do about what's going on behind the scenes, but we have about four players who can play left wing, and we are going for Barcola."They haven't got one player who plays on the right wing in the squad."Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Liverpool FCTransfersParis Saint-Germain FC
