Senegal’s Ibrahim Mbaye keen on Liverpool switch as Reds step up PSG winger pursuit

Paris Saint-Germain youngster Ibrahim Mbaye is eager to complete a move to Liverpool after the Premier League champions stepped up their interest in the highly-rated winger.

The 18-year-old has reportedly given his approval to join the Reds, with discussions between the two clubs expected to gather pace after Liverpool made contact with his representatives.

According to journalist Fabrice Hawkins, Liverpool have approached influential agent Jorge Mendes, who represents Mbaye, as the club intensifies efforts to strengthen its attack ahead of the new season.

Mbaye is understood to have prioritised a move to Anfield despite attracting interest from several clubs across Europe. German sides RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen have both monitored the teenager, but Liverpool has emerged as his preferred destination.

Liverpool rebuild attack after Salah exit

Liverpool are actively reshaping their frontline following Mohamed Salah’s departure earlier this summer, leaving new manager Andoni Iraola with the task of replacing one of the club’s greatest attacking threats.

The Reds have been linked with several wide forwards as they seek to reinforce their options, particularly on the right flank where Salah dominated for years.

PSG star Bradley Barcola remains one of Liverpool’s primary targets, although any deal for the France international is expected to cost more than £100 million. Mbaye has now emerged as another player under serious consideration as the club explores multiple options.

One of France’s brightest prospects

Mbaye is regarded as one of the brightest young talents in French football and has attracted widespread attention with his performances in PSG’s youth setup.

Liverpool’s latest approach signals the club’s continued commitment to investing in emerging talent while also preparing a squad capable of competing on multiple fronts under Iraola.

With the player already signalling his desire to make the move, negotiations between Liverpool and PSG are expected to begin soon as the Reds look to secure another promising addition before the transfer window closes.
