Senegal Forward Mbaye Joins Aston Villa From PSG
The 18-year-old winger wanted a starting role, and Villa will pay PSG €55 million up front with a 10% sell-on clause.
On Tuesday, Aston Villa completed the signing of 18-year-old Senegal winger Ibrahim Mbaye from Paris St-Germain for 55m euros, agreeing a five-year contract with a one-year option.
Mbaye developed through the Paris Saint-Germain academy after joining at age 10, becoming the club's youngest Ligue 1 starter at 16 and departing with two Champions League titles and two Ligue 1 crowns.
Internationally, the winger represents Senegal with 15 caps and four goals, including a strike against France at the 2026 FIFA World Cup that made him the youngest African player to score in a men's tournament.
Villa's squad overhaul intensifies as Morgan Rogers completed a £117m move to Chelsea, Ezri Konsa joined Arsenal for £55m, and striker Ollie Watkins transferred to Al-Hilal for £51m.
This transaction arrives as Premier League clubs face the Tuesday deadline, requiring teams to finalize documentation by 23:00 BST under FIFA Transfer Matching System requirements.
