Liverpool Nears Key Signings Amid PSG Negotiations
Fabrizio Romano confirmed on Thursday that an in-demand star has jetted out to his new club. It’s a sign that one Liverpool deal is close.
Liverpool are currently engaged in discussions with Paris Saint-Germain regarding two players. One of these is Bradley Barcola, a topic that has been on the table for a few weeks, while reports surfaced on Tuesday that Ibrahim Mbaye is wanted at Anfield.

Mbaye appears to be the less complicated deal if Liverpool is keen to finalize it. According to Fabrice Hawkins, a €40m fee would secure this transfer, making it a potential bargain for one of the brightest talents currently in football.
PSG is open to the sale, as Mbaye seeks more regular playing time, and the Parisian club has its own plans to revamp an already talented forward lineup.

Another potential target for Liverpool is Maghnes Akliouche from AS Monaco. He plays in Mbaye’s position on the right and would serve as a homegrown replacement with a promising future, despite being six years older.
Fabrizio Romano has reported that the deal is advancing, with Akliouche traveling to Paris to finalize the transfer. This is positive news for Liverpool, as it suggests an expedited process for the Mbaye deal.

That move signifies a direct replacement, and it is anticipated that negotiations for the Senegal star will accelerate once this deal is confirmed. PSG has effectively indicated a willingness to proceed with a €50m fee—now, they just need to finalize the agreement.
Once finalized, there will be little left to impede Liverpool’s path toward acquiring Mbaye. The developments are unfolding rapidly.

Liverpool are in talks with Paris Saint-Germain over two players right now. Bradley Barcola is one, and has been for a few weeks now, while reports broke on Tuesday that Ibrahim Mbaye is wanted at Anfield.

The latter does feel like the ‘easier’ deal, if Liverpool are truly eager for it to happen. Fabrice Hawkins claims a €40m fee would get the deal done and that’s potentially a steal for one of the brightest talents in football right now.
PSG are happy to sell, in other words. Mbaye wants out in search of more regular football and the Parisians have their own plans for rejuvenating an already-brilliant forward line.

One potential signing is Maghnes Akliouche from AS Monaco. He plays in Mbaye’s position on the right and would replace him as a homegrown talent with a very bright future – even if he is six years older.
Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that the deal is close and Akliouche is flying in to Paris to complete the deal. That’s fantastic news for Liverpool, who know that signing almost certainly pushes the Mbaye deal further forward.

That’s the direct replacement, after all, and we’d expect rapid movement on the Senegal star after this one. PSG have essentially sealed that deal with a €50m fee – they just need to get it over the line.
Once that happens, there’s really nothing standing in the way between Liverpool and Mbaye. It’s all happening fast.
