Multiple outlets are reporting that liverpool have reached an agreement on personal terms with Paris Saint-Germain winger Ibrahim Mbaye, with the player said to have agreed the financial terms of a five-year contract should clubs finalise a transfer.

- Multiple outlets report Fabrice Hawkins says Liverpool and Ibrahim Mbaye have agreed personal terms on a five-year contract, but no official club confirmation is in supplied sources.
- Liverpool are reportedly pursuing a double deal involving Bradley Barcola; fee negotiations with PSG are said to be ongoing.
- Reports emphasise the potential impact on Liverpool's wide positions but figures and combined-cost estimates remain unconfirmed in the supplied evidence.
What the reports say
French reporter Fabrice Hawkins is cited by several English- and European-based outlets reporting that Mbaye and Liverpool have agreed the financial details of a five-year deal. TeamTalk and OneFootball reference Hawkins’s update, saying the 18-year-old has made his decision and will not pursue interest from Bayer Leverkusen.
Those same reports and other outlets link a simultaneous Liverpool pursuit of Barcola. TeamTalk describes continuing discussions between Liverpool and PSG over valuations for both players, and suggests a combined outlay in the region of approximately in reporting.”
Context: why Liverpool want wingers
Reports frame the moves as part of a broader Liverpool plan to refresh their wide options. Coverage notes Liverpool have been exploring replacements and competition on the flanks following wider squad changes this summer. TeamTalk references the club’s earlier arrivals this window and frames Barcola and Mbaye as targets to increase pace and youth in the attacking unit.
Confirmed, negotiated and speculative elements
- Confirmed by the reporting: multiple outlets attribute to Fabrice Hawkins the claim that Mbaye and Liverpool have agreed personal terms for a five-year contract. These reports state Mbaye has decided not to pursue interest from Bayer Leverkusen. (Sources: TeamTalk, OneFootball, Goal)
- Ongoing negotiations: outlets report Liverpool and PSG still need to agree transfer fees for Mbaye and Barcola; no club statement or PSG confirmation of transfer terms has been provided in the supplied reporting. (Sources: TeamTalk, Goal)
- Speculation and estimated figures: some pieces mention combined transfer-cost estimates or previously reported asking prices for Barcola, but those numbers come from journalistic reconstruction rather than official club confirmation and should be treated as provisional. (Source: TeamTalk)
What this would mean if completed
Should Liverpool complete the signing of Mbaye on terms reported and also secure Barcola, the club would add young, pacey wide options to Andoni Iraola’s attack. TeamTalk and other coverage emphasise the potential for both players to compete for starting places and increase squad depth on both wings. Reported missed minutes for Mbaye at PSG last season are used as context for his availability and desire to move.
What to watch next
- Official confirmation from Liverpool or PSG: neither club is quoted as confirming a completed transfer in the supplied reports. An official announcement would be required to confirm the move and any contract length or fee.
- Progress on transfer fees: outlets say fee negotiations remain ongoing between Liverpool and PSG for Barcola and Mbaye, so further updates are expected while clubs attempt to agree valuations.
- Squad implications and registration: any completed transfers will need to be registered before competition deadlines; observers should watch Liverpool’s squad lists and Premier League registration announcements.
