Liverpool are making moves in the transfer market, and their latest target could be a key addition to the backline. According to RMC Sport, the Reds have made an initial approach for Paris FC defender Moustapha Mbow—and this could be just the beginning of a busy summer at Anfield.
Mbow, a 26-year-old Senegalese centre-back, has been a standout performer in Ligue 1 this season. Since Paris FC earned promotion to the top flight, he has become a defensive pillar, making 31 appearances and logging over 2,700 minutes. Standing at an imposing 6ft 4in, Mbow has impressed with his aerial dominance and long-ball distribution. His standout performance came against AS Monaco in April, where he recorded 18 clearances, and he most recently played the full 90 minutes in a solid display against Stade Brestois on 3 May.
Liverpool aren't alone in their pursuit. The report notes that Crystal Palace, Fulham, and West Ham are also keeping tabs on Mbow, whose contract with Paris FC runs until 2028. However, the Reds' interest is described as more of a background monitoring mission for now—they've made contact but are waiting to see how the situation develops before deciding whether to push forward.
Interestingly, Liverpool's next move could hinge on the future of Ibrahima Konate. The French defender is out of contract this summer and has yet to sign a renewal. If Konate departs, Mbow could be viewed as a direct squad replacement—a more senior option to bolster a backline that has conceded 47 goals this season under Arne Slot. With West Ham reportedly tabling a formal offer and other suitors like Ipswich Town, Fulham, and Lille circling, the race for Mbow is heating up. For Liverpool fans, this is one to watch closely.
