Liverpool’s Interest in Ibrahim Mbaye Not as Advanced as Rumored
Reports suggest that PSG is looking to sell Ibrahim Mbaye while Liverpool expresses interest in acquiring the winger; however, sources indicate that negotiations are not as far along as some reports claim. The Athletic downplays recent talks stating that Liverpool has not locked down personal terms with the 18-year-old.
This week, there were speculations that Liverpool’s squad had finalized Mbaye’s personal terms and were preparing to agree on a fee with PSG. However, those discussions have been dismissed.
From the Transfer Deal Sheet, it was noted, “Team-mate Mbaye has also been discussed this summer, but senior Liverpool figures insist their interest has only been exploratory to date and strongly dismissed suggestions that personal terms have already been agreed.”
Currently, Liverpool is concentrating on signing Bradley Barcola, though they might pursue Mbaye in the future. Scouting what Mbaye might request should a fee be established is a prudent step in this transfer window, especially since PSG appears eager to part ways with the talented young player.
In other developments, PSG recently faced challenges as a player received a three-match ban, and their upcoming match has been relocated. PSG is reportedly asking for £140 million for Barcola, leaving it up to Liverpool to determine if they will meet that price. Meanwhile, PSG has already secured Mika Godts from Ajax, who is now training with the team, replacing Barcola, who has indicated he does not intend to renew his contract.
The Athletic are playing down the idea that Ibrahim Mbaye has already agreed personal talks with Liverpool.

Liverpool’s full focus is on Bradley Barcola right now, and even though they might end up signing both players, clearly the massive deal comes first.
