Liverpool have suffered a major blow in their pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain attacker Ibrahim Mbaye after the Senegalese forward reportedly grew frustrated with prolonged negotiations. The teenager is now completely open to exploring alternative clubs as the Reds struggle to overcome a massive €20 million valuation disparity.
For some football fans, the summer is the part of the calendar that they look forward to the most - and that's not just because it's filled by a World Cup every four years! Rather, it's because the end of the season means only one thing: It's time for transfers! The 2026 window is once again proving to be busy, with some huge names making big-money moves before deadline day on September 1.
Liverpool are making positive strides in their attempt to sign Bradley Barcola before the transfer deadline, but securing his teammate Ibrahim Mbaye is proving far more difficult. The massive asking price set by the French champions has created a significant hurdle, leaving the Senegalese winger's potential move to the Premier League stalling in the final days of the window.
Paris Saint-Germain have been forced to reverse the venue for their Ligue 1 opener against Rennes after extreme summer heatwaves left the Parc des Princes pitch unusable. The French champions will now travel to Roazhon Park on Sunday, with the return fixture between the two clubs later in the campaign set to be staged in the capital instead.
