‘Nothing massively advanced’ – Journalist provides discouraging Liverpool transfer update

‘Nothing massively advanced’ – Journalist provides discouraging Liverpool transfer update

Liverpool continue to engage in conversations for Ibrahim Mbaye and Bradley Barcola with PSG.

The Reds’ interest in both attackers is well documented, but in recent days, things appear to have taken a move on.

Various sources have confirmed that Mbaye has agreed personal terms with Liverpool and will sign a five-year deal if the two sides agree a fee.

However, David Lynch feels the deal isn’t as advanced as what’s being reported.

Truth behind Ibrahim Mbaye to Liverpool links

He said, “You could agree personal terms with quite a few players, and then move forward on one of them and maybe kind of push a couple aside.

“That generally happens. Clubs do operate in that kind of way. I just don’t think as things stand you can guarantee he’s a target.

“He’s just one who’s definitely on the list but nothing massively advanced.”

What Lynch is saying makes sense, as it is natural for a club to speak to multiple players and test the waters over a potential transfer.

However, talks with Mbaye also involve his agent Jorge Mendes and the conversations have been ongoing for nearly a month now.

If Liverpool aren’t really interested in the player, they wouldn’t have wasted so much time with all their groundwork, so we’re hoping the Mbaye links are legitimate.
