Liverpool will reportedly have to fend off interest from a host of clubs in the Premier League and Bundesliga to sign highly-rated Paris Saint-Germain winger Ibrahim Mbaye.
The Reds are currently in negotiations with PSG over an extremely costly deal for Bradley Barcola, who could set them back around $196 million (£145 million), but recent reports have revealed their interest in his younger clubmate Mbaye as well. The 18-year-old is the youngest-ever appearance-maker for the European champions and has played 42 games over the past two seasons. Some exciting performances helped him earn a 2026 World Cup call from Senegal, scoring a stunning goal against France in the group stage.However, given his precocious talent and sky-high potential, the versatile forward is naturally in-demand. L’Équipe has revealed that while Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund currently lead the race for his signature, there are seven others sides monitoring him across England and Germany.
Manchester United, Manchester City, Aston Villa and Chelsea are all mentioned as possible suitors, while Bayern Munich, RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen also admire the youngster.
PSG are happy to sanction a departure, having recently signed Maghnes Akliouche from Monaco, while the club are also closing in on 21-year-old Ajax winger Mika Godts. They are expected to demand between $46.2 million and $57.8 million for Mbaye.
