Liverpool denies agreement with Ibrahim Mbaye amid transfer interest

Liverpool has denied reports suggesting that they have reached an agreement for personal talks with winger Ibrahim Mbaye. The Athletic asserts that while Liverpool is interested in the 18-year-old from PSG, their interest remains exploratory and not as advanced as previously claimed. PSG is looking to offload Mbaye, but Liverpool’s primary focus has shifted towards negotiating for Bradley Barcola, with personal terms on that deal still under discussion. PSG is demanding £140m for Barcola, and Liverpool is weighing their options regarding Mbaye as they consider their next steps in the transfer window.
