PSG want to sell Ibrahim Mbaye, and Liverpool are interested in buying him, but things aren’t as advanced as some are making out, according to the Athletic.

There had been talk this week that Andoni Iraola’s squad have locked down the winger’s personal terms, and are ready to finalise a fee with PSG. This has been denied.

Sources push back against Mbaye personal terms rumours

“Team-mate Mbaye has also been discussed this summer but senior Liverpool figures insist their interest has only been exploratory to date and strongly dismissed suggestions that personal terms have already been agreed with the 18-year-old,” the Transfer Deal Sheet today reads.

Liverpool’s full focus is on Bradley Barcola right now, and even though they might end up signing both players, clearly the massive deal comes first.

Scoping out what Mbaye will want if a fee is agreed is a wise idea at this stage in the window, even

PSG want to be rid of the youngster, by the sounds of things, despite his obvious talent.
