Liverpool have been looking into the possibility of signing Paris Saint-Germain's 18-year-old winger Ibrahim Mbaye. The Senegal international, who mainly plays on the right wing, is reportedly interested in joining the Reds. Mbaye is one of several targets Liverpool are considering to bolster their wide attacking options, a key priority for the club in this transfer window. Liverpool are also interested in Mbaye's PSG teammate Bradley Barcola, but have yet to make a formal offer for either player.
The club's interest in Mbaye is separate from any potential move for Barcola. It's possible that Liverpool could sign Mbaye and another more experienced winger. With PSG valuing Barcola at £145m, signing both players could be challenging.
Liverpool aim to have five wingers by the end of the transfer window, including a younger player they want to develop. New Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola views his wide players as crucial to his philosophy, which is why the club is focusing on strengthening this area of the squad.
Mbaye, who has come through PSG's youth system, made his debut at 16 and has represented Senegal at the international level. He made history at the 2026 World Cup by becoming the youngest African player to score in the tournament. Mbaye's versatility and ability to play on both wings make him an attractive option for Liverpool, who are looking to fill the gap left by Mohamed Salah's departure.
While Mbaye is still early in his career, his dribbling skills have been impressive, and Liverpool may see an opportunity to sign a talented young player with a bright future.
