Liverpool enters race for another PSG starlet who's 'keen' on Anfield move

Liverpool FC is reportedly pursuing PSG winger Ibrahim Mbaye as part of their summer transfer strategy. The 18-year-old player is said to be interested in the move despite interest from several Bundesliga clubs.
Why it matters
This reflects the ongoing high-stakes movement of young talent in European professional football and the strategic rebuilding of major clubs.
Liverpool's transfer window options at winger have the club shopping in the most expensive aisle of the transfer market, but it could pay off after a conversation with Paris Saint-Germain just 19 days before the Premier League season begins. In addition to eyeing a deal for Bradley Barcola, Liverpool is also interested in his teammate, Ibrahim Mbaye — and the PSG player is "keen" on a move to Anfield in the post-Jurgen Klopp and Arne Slot era, according to RMC Sport. The Reds have contacted the player's agent, Jorge Mendes, while a messy Paris exit looks increasingly likely. The 18-year-old also has interest from Bundesliga clubs, including RB Leipzig, Borussia Dortmund, and Bayer Leverkusen, but is prioritizing a move to Liverpool after a deal with Leipzig collapsed. Meanwhile, the Reds continue to shake up the market as they hunt for attacking gems under new head coach Andoni Iraola.
