Liverpool spot PSG winger as shrewd Transfer Chance this summer
Liverpool have identified Paris Saint‑Germain winger Ibrahim Mbaye as a potential summer signing, with the 18‑year‑old set to leave the French club this season. The move was confirmed by transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, who said the PSG forward will exit the French side before the transfer window closes.
Liverpool’s recent departures have created a clear need for a fresh right‑flank option. Mbaye’s profile – young, right‑sided, technically sharp – could fill the gap left by the departing wide players. Jurgen Klopp sees the 18‑year‑old as a smart winger solution for the Premier League club.
Interest in the French winger is building from both the Premier League and the Bundesliga. The straightforward situation places the Transfer Chance squarely on Liverpool’s radar as the window nears its close.
PSG are loaded with attacking talent, meaning an 18‑year‑old wide player sees a blocked path to regular minutes. Mbaye’s contract runs until 2028, but limited playing time and a growing queue of options reduce his prospects at Paris Saint‑Germain. That contract length matters little when minutes are drying up and the queue ahead keeps growing.
Liverpool eye 18‑year‑old Mbaye as the next Mané on the right
Fabrizio Romano quoted that “Ibrahima Mbaye will leave PSG this summer with agent Jorge Mendes now in control of his future.” The involvement of Mendes immediately changes the dynamic of any potential deal. Liverpool are also monitoring Bradley Barcola, but the club acknowledges that fantasy shopping lists must give way to realistic options. If Barcola proves too expensive or complicated, Liverpool can move quickly to secure Mbaye as a sensible alternative. Adding Mbaye would give Liverpool depth, quality and flexibility on the right without the risk of overspending on a marquee winger. For PSG, allowing the youngster to depart frees a contract slot and eases the congestion of wide‑player options. The next steps hinge on Jorge Mendes steering negotiations before the window shuts. Liverpool must balance the risk inherent in youth against the logic of a smart, affordable addition.
