Aston Villa are on the brink of sealing a transfer for the Sénégalais winger Ibrahima Mbaye from Paris Saint‑Germain, with negotiations now in their final stage and a fee reported at around 55 million euros. The 18‑year‑old, who has yet to feature this season, is contracted to PSG until June 2028.

Mbaye has featured in 42 matches for PSG, though he has not yet played this season. Last campaign in Ligue 1 he recorded three goals and two assists in 24 appearances, making him a key part of the attack rotation.

En plus de Nicolas Jackson, Villa could sign another Senegalese international, the report noted. Mbaye comes off a demanding 2025‑2026 schedule with the Lions of Teranga from Sénégal at the Africa Cup of Nations and the World Cup.

He remains under contract with PSG until June 2028, and although Liverpool were once linked, that interest has cooled. The Mercato indicates Villa are currently in pole position to secure his signature, but the player has not yet given his approval.

The transfer fee is estimated at around 55 million euros. PSG continue to reshape their attack, with arrivals Maghnes Akliouche, Ferran Torres and Mika Godts, and departures Gonçalo Ramos to AC Milan, Randal Kolo Muani to Juventus and Kang‑in Lee to Atlético.
