Paris Saint-Germain winger Ibrahim Mbaye has been offered to both Liverpool and Manchester City after his representatives indicated he would not be joining Aston Villa this summer, according to TEAMtalk. The 19-year-old’s camp are actively seeking a new club where they believe his potential will be fully realized.
Earlier this month, reports emerged that Mbaye was available for transfer and attracting interest from several Premier League clubs, with Aston Villa holding substantial discussions regarding a potential move to Villa Park. However, those talks ultimately stalled as Mbaye’s representatives deemed the club unsuitable for the player’s long-term development.
The player’s entourage believe Mbaye is capable of competing at the highest level and are prioritizing clubs consistently challenging for major honours. This has led to approaches to both Liverpool and Manchester City in recent days, though the chances of securing a deal with either club are currently being assessed.
Liverpool’s recruitment staff have been tracking Mbaye’s progress while also considering other wide attacking options following the departure of Mohamed Salah. Manchester City, under Enzo Maresca, are also seeking attacking reinforcements and have already been active in the transfer window. However, neither club currently views Mbaye as a primary target.
Liverpool’s priority remains Bradley Barcola, while Manchester City have other attacking targets ahead of Mbaye on their shortlist. Despite this, sources indicate the situation is fluid, with Mbaye’s camp focused on finding the right sporting project, rather than a quick exit from PSG. Further talks are expected in the coming weeks as they evaluate which club offers the best pathway for the young French talent.
