Liverpool is reportedly planning to submit their first bid for 18-year-old Paris Saint-Germain winger Ibrahim Mbaye, according to reports from France. The teenager has caught the attention of the Reds throughout the summer, alongside the previously publicised pursuit of Bradley Barcola. Former PSG coach Pape Thiaw described the young player as a 'phenomenon' to his former coach.
Although the 18-year-old has only played around 1,500 minutes of first-team football for PSG and scored just four goals, his age and the club's recent European success make him an intriguing prospect for Liverpool. The Reds are expected to make their opening offer to PSG in the coming days, with a reported price tag of around €50m (£42.8m).
If Liverpool follows through with their intentions, this move would give them another natural right-sided attacker to join their current starlet, Federico Chiesa, whose future at Anfield is still uncertain.
