Ibrahim Mbaye is inching closer to departing Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to sign with English Premier League club Aston Villa before the summer transfer window closes. The 18-year-old Senegal international is set to make the move for a reported fee of €55 million.
Having joined PSG in 2018, Mbaye progressed through the youth ranks and made a total of 42 first-team appearances for the club, which includes being part of the reigning French and European champions. Last season, he contributed three goals and two assists in Ligue 1 and featured in four of the 17 matches in the UEFA Champions League.
Despite attracting interest from Liverpool FC, Mbaye has opted for a significant transfer to Aston Villa. According to Djamel on the social media platform X, he has successfully completed the second part of his medical examination and is anticipated to sign his contract on Sunday.

In the upcoming season, Mbaye is likely to face his former teammate Bradley Barcola, who recently transferred from PSG to Liverpool. Barcola also completed a medical on Sunday, with an official announcement about his move expected shortly. The 23-year-old winger has left PSG for a reported €145 million, which includes additional add-ons.
Despite the exits of both Barcola and Mbaye, PSG’s attacking force remains robust. Ousmane Dembélé, the reigning Ballon d’Or winner, continues to lead the front line, supported by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Désiré Doué. This summer, PSG also secured signings of Mika Godts from Ajax and Maghnes Akliouche from AS Monaco.
PSG began their Ligue 1 campaign with two draws against Stade Rennais and Lille, with their next match slated against AS Monaco on September 4.
