Liverpool pursues Ibrahim Mbaye as PSG talks advance

Liverpool is intensifying its efforts to secure a transfer for 18-year-old forward Ibrahim Mbaye from Paris Saint-Germain. As discussions progress, sources indicate that Mbaye prefers a move to Anfield after expressing a desire to leave PSG, where he faces competition for playing time. The club has reportedly valued him at around £43 million and is well-positioned to negotiate personal terms. Manager Andoni Iraola has identified Mbaye as a fitting addition to Liverpool's attacking framework, enhancing the club's appeal to the player. Meanwhile, continued interest in other targets, such as Bradley Barcola, is noted but appears to be less promising.
