Liverpool want to repeat Rio Ngumoha trick with offer for PSG wonderkid

Liverpool are always on the lookout for the best young talents around.

This practice was of course in evidence in the summer of 2024 - when the Reds landed Rio Ngumoha from Chelsea.

Aged just 15 at the time, the electrifying left-winger has risen quickly through the ranks and is ALREADY a genuine first-team option for Arne Slot.

But the process is ongoing with the Anfield club recruiters now eyeing up a deal for one of Europe’s hottest teenage striking sensations.

Ibrahima Mbaye under consideration by Liverpool

Ibrahim Mbaye, 17, has been at Paris Saint-Germain since 2018 and is firmly established in Luis Enrique’s first-team plans at the European champions.

Mbaye has played 19 times already for the PSG first team - scoring once - and was a winner at last summer’s Maurice Revello tournament for his national team.

Competition for places is intense for the French Ligue 1 side however and there is speculation that the France under-20 international could leave.

Mbaye is under contract until 2027 in the French capital - but has been linked with both Barcelona AND Liverpool in a recent report.

Barcelona want cut-price deal for Mbaye

E-Noticies seems quite optimistic that Barcelona will secure a deal for the youngster - potentially as soon as January 2026 - and he could be available for as little as €3m.

That sum would suit cash-strapped Barcelona - who are constantly trying to make room in the budget for registering new players.

But the report also reveals that Mbaye has already received an offer from Liverpool - as well as an opportunity to renew his deal with PSG.

It’s currently unknown which way Mbaye will turn - but he would not be eligible to move to Liverpool until he turns 18 with his birthday on January 24.

Therefore the situation might align perfectly for Richard Hughes - the Liverpool sporting director - and head coach Arne Slot.

The club look set to compete for one of the finest young talents in the game once again.
