Liverpool secures agreement from Ibrahim Mbaye amid Barcola interest

Liverpool is reportedly close to finalizing a deal for Ibrahim Mbaye, a forward who has expressed openness to a transfer to Anfield. With Paris Saint-Germain valuing Mbaye at around £60 million, Liverpool is also in pursuit of Bradley Barcola, but competition from Arsenal looms as PSG seeks approximately £145 million for the winger. Arsenal may intensify their efforts for Barcola if Liverpool delays. The Reds are also negotiating with Brighton for Yankuba Minteh, who has a valuation of £70 million. Liverpool aims to advance multiple transfer targets efficiently.
