Liverpool are set to face opposition in their bid to land Ibrahim Mbaye. Mbaye emerged as a potential addition for Andoni Iraola’s side alongside their ongoing pursuit of teammate Bradley Barcola, who is keen on a move to Anfield. The Senegal international is attracting interest the Bundesliga, where Bayer Leverkusen were initially set to rival the Reds in the race for his signature. Negotiations for Barcola, meanwhile, remain ongoing despite Liverpool and PSG remaining apart their valuations for the prodigious France international forward. PSG’s recent signing of Maghnes Akliouche and continued interest in Barcelona’s World Cup winner Ferran Torres further hint at the 23-year-old’s likely departure.
