Ibrahim Mbaye, an 18-year-old forward developed at Paris Saint-Germain and under professional contract until 2028, is set to leave during this transfer window as he seeks more playing time. Several clubs have been linked with him, including Liverpool. RMC Sport and journalist Fabrizio Romano reported on Friday evening that an agreement has been reached with Aston Villa.
RMC Sport:
Ibrahim Mbaye is set to leave Paris Saint-Germain to join Aston Villa. The young Parisian forward is due to undergo a medical examination this Saturday before signing his new contract with the English club.
The deal involves a five-year contract with an option for an additional year. The transfer fee is estimated at €55 million, including bonuses.
Fabrizio Romano:
This confirms the reports from earlier in the evening, when a deal was already close. It is quite possible that discussions progressed further, given that only final details remained to be settled. The medical examination is a significant step; it is rarely mentioned without a degree of certainty.
Confirmation should follow soon, barring a surprise denial. It is an interesting move for PSG, securing a substantial fee for an academy graduate, while the player embarks on an exciting adventure in the Premier League.
