Ibrahim Mbaye set to leave Paris Saint-Germain with Jorge Mendes facilitating move

Under contract with PSG until 2028, Mbaye is considered one of African football's top prospects but has faced limited opportunities due to strong offensive competition from players like Ousmane Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Désiré Doué, and Bradley Barcola. His career management has recently been taken over by renowned agent Jorge Mendes, known for orchestrating major European transfers. This development is expected to accelerate discussions with several clubs from the Premier League and Bundesliga that are interested in signing him before the transfer window closes.

Manchester City, Aston Villa, and Tottenham are among the English clubs reportedly tracking Mbaye, while Borussia Dortmund in Germany has also shown interest. Mbaye's ambitions are focused on a top-tier league, ruling out a move to Championship club Wolverhampton, despite its historical ties to Mendes. While Paris Saint-Germain is open to retaining the young talent, they would seek a significant financial gain if he departs, valuing him between 40 and 50 million euros, and might include a buy-back clause to maintain future control.
