Mbaye, 18, is described as a player Liverpool have been tracking closely, and contact has already been made with his agent, Jorge Mendes. Ibrahim Mbaye deal moves towards official talksThe clearest indication of progress comes in the form of the line, “Liverpool are preparing to start official talks for Mbaye. The report claims senior figures in Paris have concerns about Mbaye’s “fitness, weight problems, and diet”. PSG concerns add risk to Liverpool transfer planA second source quoted in the report says Mbaye is “eager to leave Paris” and that Liverpool would be his “first choice”, with the Reds considered to be ahead of Tottenham and Bayer Leverkusen. PSG do not produce or retain young attackers without serious quality, and if Liverpool genuinely believe Mbaye can develop into part of the club’s next forward line, that deserves attention.
