🟣🔵Aston Villa makes a move for PSG's 18 year old forward Ibrahim Mbaye for £35M!
By Auguste Blanchet (google translated)
#UTV#avfc🦁⤵️
Aston Villa are stepping up their pursuit of Ibrahim Mbaye. With the transfer window opening soon, discussions are ongoing and progressing well with the PSG youth academy graduate. A transfer fee of around €40 million is in the works, according to our sources.
In his second season with the professional squad, Ibrahim Mbaye has established himself as a key player in the Paris SG rotation. With 23 appearances in all competitions, including 10 starts, the striker has confirmed his potential (3 goals, 2 assists), to the point of becoming a Senegalese international, shining during the AFCON in Morocco this winter (1 goal and 2 assists) and being part of the squad for the World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada.
Despite a poor run of form with PSG in the second half of the season , Mbaye's rise to prominence, particularly evident with the national team, has not gone unnoticed in the transfer market. And as The Athletic recently reported , Aston Villa seems determined to spend a substantial sum to lure the youngster to their club. According to Top Mercato , discussions are indeed underway with Mbaye and his representatives.
Aston Villa ready to offer €40 million for Ibrahim Mbaye
While no agreement has yet been reached between the various parties, there seems to be confidence, on the English side, in a possible positive outcome for a fee of around €40 million, according to our sources. While Mbaye is open to leaving , PSG's position has not yet been revealed. With the player under contract until June 2028, the Parisian club is in no hurry.
However, with his market value estimated at around €30 million, the Parisians might be tempted to pull off a lucrative deal for a player who has lacked intensity in the eyes of the demanding Luis Enrique since his return from the Africa Cup of Nations.
After Lucas Digne, Unai Emery, Boubacar Kamara, Amadou Onana, Youri Tielemans, Ross Barkley, and Marco Bizot, will Aston Villa, recent Europa League winners, soon welcome another former Ligue 1 player?
🚨 Emi Buendia will enter the final 12 months of his contract this summer, with discussions yet to take place over a new contract. They are scheduled, however, alongside negotiations to extend other players, such as Ezri Konsa & Youri Tielemans, once June 30, the end of the financial year, has passed. @J_Tanswell #avfc
