Ibrahim Mbaye: Liverpool’s surprise call in battle with Man United for PSG star – Fabrizio Romano

2

Manchester United have received a significant boost in their pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain winger Ibrahim Mbaye.

This week, news broke that United, along with a host of other top European clubs, had contacted the European champions to express their interest in signing Mbaye.

Search for ample game time

Everything seems to suggest that the Senegalese winger will be seeking a move away from Parc des Princes.

The attacking signings the Parisians are making, including Ferran Torres, Maghnes Akliouche and Mika Godts, have the eighteen-year-old questioning his future at the club.

It is suggested that the player feels his pathway is being blocked, and that moving elsewhere may be the wise move.

Able to play on either wing, the explosive and highly creative orthodox winger thrives in high-tempo, possession-dominant systems, and he could be a project player for most top teams.

Liverpool not a threat in Ibrahim Mbaye chase

While the Red Devils must have been watching the situation closely, anticipating a fierce battle, they have now been told why Liverpool will no longer pose an issue in this transfer race.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Fabrizio Romano confirmed that the Reds have decided to step away from a possible transfer for Mbaye after holding talks with agent Jorge Mendes.

Liverpool hesitant to pay Mbaye’s asking price

Apparently, the French side want at least £34.2 million for the winger, and that price does not sit well with Liverpool’s decision-makers.

While other top clubs, such as Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, remain in the race, Liverpool’s withdrawal gives United’s chances a big boost.

Given the Premier League clubs’ spending power, Liverpool could have posed a huge challenge in the race for Mbaye.

That said, with demands now clear, it is up to INEOS to act if they truly believe Mbaye is perfect for Michael Carrick’s project.
