Ibrahim Mbaye signs for Aston Villa, €55m fee

sportsSep 1, 202622169

Aston Villa have signed 18-year-old Senegal winger Ibrahim Mbaye from Paris Saint-Germain for a fee of 55 million euros (£47m). Mbaye scored three goals and provided two assists in 31 appearances for PSG last season and featured in all four of Senegal's matches at the 2026 World Cup, scoring in a 3-1 defeat by France to become the youngest African player to score at a men's World Cup. The teenager joined PSG from FC Versailles 78 in 2018, progressed through their academy and made his senior debut in August 2024 at age 16; he was born in France and switched international allegiance to Senegal in 2025. Villa confirmed Mbaye as the latest attacking arrival under Unai Emery following signings including Alejandro Garnacho, Johan Manzambi and Nicolas Jackson, part of a summer overhaul that has also seen key departures such as Ezri Konsa to Arsenal, Morgan Rogers to Chelsea and Ollie Watkins to Al-Hilal.

Waiting for Sky/Talkshite to ridicule it as us overpaying etc

“Villa have made a new signing” “Mbaye?” “No it’s been confirmed”

Bjorn Grainger2

YES! Thought we’d missed out on this transfer back in July (and seemed outlandish anyway) but we pulled it off. Young, raw, but extremely talented with huge potential.

Dear Aston Villa - could you hurry up and announce Mbaye please as I’ve become utterly addicted to refreshing my phone for new Villa news and I have a stinking hangover.

Saints fans have said that Harwood-Bellis is overpriced and overrated- we'll see. Unai has yet to get to work on him. #UTV #AVFC www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Ibrahim Mbaye last season played 4 Champion’s League games and 24 Ligue 1 games. For a team like PSG at 18 years old that’s bloody impressive

Talking of loans: Aston Villa are closing in on a deal to sign Illia Zabarnyi from PSG. I’m beginning to hate PSG. They really don’t like us. Charged us more for MBaye, no Zabarnyi loan But they play nice with Villa

Malick Fofana to Sunderland Matias Fernandez-Pardo to Newcastle Ibrahim Mbaye to Aston Villa Three superb signings. There is talent out there. There is value in this market. Spurs' Premier League only focus has been so frustrating and has capped our potential this window.
