Incredible Liverpool shift focus to PSG winger Ibrahim Mbaye

Incredible Liverpool have shifted their transfer focus to 18‑year‑old Ibrahim Mbaye of Paris Saint‑Germain after defender Yan Diomande chose to remain at RB Leipzig before a possible move to France. No fee has been disclosed, and the Reds are now hunting a right‑winger.

The club has a clear gap on the right flank and needs a winger to restore balance. A statement from the scouting department said there is “no question Liverpool need to sign a winger.”

Yan Diomande was Liverpool’s main target heading into the transfer window, but the defender decided to wait out a move to Paris Saint‑Germain. He will stay with RB Leipzig for the upcoming season, leaving Anfield scrambling for an alternative.

The market for right‑wingers is described as terrible, with no readily available players who can make an immediate impact. Any further target would be a gamble, highlighting the difficulty Liverpool face in finding a suitable replacement.

Paris Saint‑Germain’s Ibrahim Mbaye has emerged as a plausible option. Fabrizio Romano confirms the Senegal star is available, and a trusted Twitter source claims Liverpool are actively monitoring the deal, though no formal offer has been made.

Mbaye, only 18, can operate on either wing and was ranked among the top‑10 wingers under 23 in Ligue 1 last season. He was the sole under‑20 player on January 1st, underscoring his youthful pedigree, and he logged 500 minutes across Europe’s top five leagues alongside Rio Ngumoha, gaining World Cup exposure.

Liverpool must now navigate price negotiations and a tight market to secure Mbaye before other clubs intervene. Now to get it over the line, the Reds must act quickly, as the window for action is narrowing.
