Premier League
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has set the price for the departure of Ibrahim Mbaye, an 18-year-old winger, between 70 and 80 million euros. The Senegalese winger is one of Iraola's main desires for the attack.
As confirmed by RMC Sport, the Parisian board has set this valuation to negotiate with Liverpool, a club that has already verbally agreed with the Senegalese international on a five-year contract before the market closes on September 1.
The economic demands of PSG and Liverpool's stance on Ibrahim Mbaye
Liverpool considers the initial valuation imposed by PSG on the 18-year-old forward to be disproportionate, valuing the operation at 50 million euros and setting a maximum limit of 60 million euros. The winger has two years left on his contract at Parc des Princes, but his desire is to move to the Premier League due to the high competition in the attack following the signings of Ferran Torres, Akliouche, and Godts.
Mbaye has earned 15 caps for Senegal and has been left out of the official call-ups by the French team, missing the UEFA Super Cup against Aston Villa (2-1) and the Trophy of Champions against Lens (1-0). The French leadership refuses to lower the 70 million euros figure, keeping his transfer on hold with just ten days remaining in the summer transfer window.
Liverpool's alternatives in the market against PSG's firm stance
Liverpool's need to strengthen the flanks stems from Mohamed Salah's departure as a free agent and Cody Gakpo's transfer to Tottenham. Alongside the negotiations for Mbaye, Liverpool's sports management is in talks with PSG for Bradley Barcola and exploring the possibility of Yankuba Minteh, for whom Brighton rejected a second offer of 70 million euros.
PSG aims to reduce its forwards' squad before the deadline but will not compromise on their financial demands for the young homegrown talent. Mbaye's lack of playing time under Luis Enrique's guidance accelerates the urgency within his circle to unlock discussions between the two clubs.
PSG and Liverpool executives will hold a virtual meeting in the next 48 hours. In this meeting, the British entity will present a revised formal offer of 60 million euros to try to finalize Mbaye's transfer before the final week of the transfer window.
