The main chatter in the Liverpool sphere is surrounding PSG player Bradley Barcola and the club\u2019s interest in bringing him to Anfield. However, buried in all of that is the rumour that teenage Senegalese national player Ibrahim Mbaye is also on their radar.<\/p>\n

Some say Mbaye isn\u2019t Liverpool\u2019s \u201cnumber one\u201d pick for winger, while other French publications have declared an opening bid for the 18-year-old is imminent. L\u2019Equipe<\/a> say that negotiations separate from any potential Barcola deal will begin next week between Liverpool and PSG for Mbaye. This all part of the transfer Tetris that is played every summer. PSG have acquired both World Cup winner Ferran Torres and Mika Godts, which makes it more amenable to losing Barcola and Mbaye. Similarly, if Liverpool get these two players in, then it might allow Cody Gakpo to leave.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unknown what the initial bid could look like for Mbaye, if it does indeed materialize, but the French outfit are said to only be looking to sell the youngster for around \u00a342.7m. If that comes to pass along with the reported \u00a3128m they are asking for Barcola, Liverpool could potentially be shelling out nearly a cool \u00a3200m to PSG alone.<\/p>\n

Of course, they are not the only club interested in Mbaye, with the likes of Manchester United, Bayern Munich, and Porto all making inquiries for the player this summer.<\/p>\n

The Premier League season begins next weekend, with Liverpool travelling to take on Newcastle United in the opener. Most fans were likely hoping to see new boss Andoni Iraola given time to bed in any new recruits before kicking off. However the World Cup seems to have hindered the transfer committee\u2019s opportunities. The big push is to try to replace Mohamed Salah\u2019s presence on the wing. It remains to be seen what business they can accomplish in the time left for them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The main chatter in the Liverpool sphere is surrounding PSG player Bradley Barcola and the club\u2019s interest in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":814794,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[10599,403,99],"class_list":["post-814793","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-liverpool-transfer-news-rumours","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/814793","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=814793"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/814793\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/814794"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=814793"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=814793"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=814793"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
