- Senegal international Ibrahim Mbaye faces uncertain future at Paris Saint-Germain
- The 18-year-old striker saw limited action under Luis Enrique in recent months
- Aston Villa reportedly interested in bringing teenager to Premier League
- PSG contract runs until 2028 but exit rumours gather pace
Paris Saint-Germain plan to keep their squad largely unchanged this summer. The club recently lifted the Champions League trophy for the second year running. This success means the French giants see no need for major signings. Still, a few departures from Parc des Princes remain possible.
Young striker Ibrahim Mbaye finds himself at the centre of transfer speculation. The 18-year-old Senegalese forward signed a long-term deal keeping him at Paris Saint-Germain until 2028. Coaches inside the club rate him highly and expect him to break into the senior side soon. His strong showings at the Africa Cup of Nations highlighted his growing talent. Despite this, manager Luis Enrique rarely selected him for matches during the latter part of the campaign.
This situation has sparked interest from other clubs. RMC Sport claims the teenager has attracted attention from several sides. While their names stay secret, Aston Villa appear to be one of the frontrunners. The West Midlands outfit claimed Europa League glory this season. The Premier League could offer Mbaye the regular first-team football that eludes him in Paris.
