PSG Value Winger at Over €40M Amid Man City, Aston Villa Interest
PSG value Ibrahim Mbaye at over €40M amid interest from Manchester City, Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur. The 18-year-old winger could leave this summer as the club targets replacements.
After competing at the 2026 FIFA World Cup with Senegal, Ibrahim Mbaye is on vacation and could leave PSG before the end of the summer transfer window. However, the club has no intention of selling him cheaply and values him at more than €40 million, a price that is unlikely to discourage Premier League clubs, which are highly interested in his profile.
Although Ibrahim Mbaye, 18, did not fully establish himself with PSG during the 2025-26 season, he still made 31 appearances for the first team, recording three goals and two assists. More importantly, the Trappes native chose to represent Senegal internationally, allowing him to become a full international and take part in the Africa Cup of Nations last winter and the FIFA World Cup this summer.
It proved to be a rewarding decision, especially as the Lions of Teranga won the AFCON, even though CAF later ruled otherwise, and put in a respectable World Cup campaign before being eliminated by Belgium in the Round of 16 after leading 2-0. Mbaye scored against France in the opening match after coming off the bench, becoming the youngest African goalscorer in FIFA World Cup history. He has already registered four goals and five assists in 15 senior international appearances.
It is an impressive international résumé for an 18-year-old who has yet to consistently fulfill his potential at his boyhood club. Competition on the wings at PSG is extremely fierce, and a departure during the summer transfer window cannot be ruled out. This week, Foot Mercato even reported that Mbaye is no longer hiding his desire to leave internally, “although those close to him are trying to persuade him otherwise.”
At the same time, L’Equipe reports that Mbaye has been working with an English agency for several months and that the Premier League is his preferred destination if he leaves. The French-Senegalese winger has been linked with Aston Villa for months, and L’Equipe also mentioned Manchester City in April, even claiming Mbaye had visited the club’s training facilities, something his entourage denied. Meanwhile, Foot Mercato also reports interest from Tottenham.
Regarding Mbaye’s valuation, with his contract running through 2028, L’Equipe reports that internally PSG values him between €40 million and €50 million. With several English clubs potentially interested, PSG could even hope the fee exceeds that range. A transfer for Mbaye could therefore surpass the deal that sent Lee Kang-in to Atlético Madrid, which was valued at just over €40 million (including bonuses, according to RMC Sport; excluding bonuses, according to L’Equipe).
Since Mbaye came through PSG’s academy, his transfer would represent a significant financial gain for the club while also creating room in the squad for Maghnes Akliouche (Monaco) and Yan Diomande (RB Leipzig), the two wingers PSG are targeting during the 2026 summer transfer window.
