English club Liverpool are ramping up efforts to strengthen their attacking options and are set to engage in official negotiations with PSG for the 18-year-old winger Ibrahim Mbaye from Senegal.
Despite also showing interest in Bradley Barcola, the Merseyside outfit sees Mbaye as a key addition to their right flank and a potential long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah, who departed Anfield this summer.
Negotiations and transfer details
Representatives from Liverpool have already been in touch with the player’s new agent, Jorge Mendes.
Player's priority: Ibrahim Mbaye has given the green light for a transfer and has prioritised Liverpool's bid, despite interest from Tottenham, Manchester City, and Bayer.
Financial demands: PSG's hierarchy are reportedly willing to let the player go and value him in the range of €40–50 million.
Situation in Paris: The young winger has faced challenging relations with Luis Enrique's coaching staff due to disciplinary issues and stiff competition on the flanks, which is accelerating his exit from the French club.
Liverpool's manager Andoni Iraola believes that Mbaye's dribbling, versatility, and speed will allow him to adapt swiftly to the physical demands of the Premier League.
