Mbaye has been with PSG’s academy since the age of 10 and made his first-team debut under Luis Enrique two years ago.

But after returning from Senegal’s Africa Cup of Nations campaign at the end of January, Mbaye was only used sparingly by Luis Enrique and was left out of the squad for PSG’s derby against Lyon in April. ‘Every minute you can play at PSG has to be special,’ Luis Enrique said about his decision to drop Mbaye from his squad. You have to enjoy every minute.’ Ibrahim Mbaye scored in Senegal’s defeat to France at the World Cup (AFP via Getty) At the World Cup this summer, Mbaye made four appearances and scored after coming off the bench in Senegal’s 3-1 defeat to France.

Liverpool have already held extensive talks with PSG to sign Bradley Barcola this summer but according to L’Equipe, the Premier League club are planning to submit an opening bid for Mbaye ‘in the coming days’. PSG continue to demand a €150m (£128m) transfer fee for Barcola, which Liverpool have been unable to match so far.
