At just 18 years old, Senegalese forward Ibrahim Mbaye, a French champion and double European champion with Paris Saint-Germain, is reportedly considering leaving the club during the summer transfer window.
Despite an impressive trophy haul, Mbaye is seeking more playing time to further his development. In the 2025-2026 season, he played 28 matches across all competitions but started only 11 times, scoring three goals. Under contract with PSG until June 30, 2028, Mbaye is attracting interest from several Premier League clubs, including Tottenham and Aston Villa.

Transfermarkt estimates Mbaye's value at nearly 30 million euros, a figure considered accessible for Premier League clubs known for their economic power.
