Mendes fuels City chase for PSG winger Mbaye amid £25m market

Super‑agent Jorge Mendes has signed 18‑year‑old Senegal international Ibrahim Mbaye as a client and is urging a summer exit from Paris Saint‑Germain; Manchester City are among the Premier League clubs circling the winger, who is valued at roughly £25 million in the market. Manchester City have intensified their search for a dynamic wide‑forward after Tottenham secured Savinho, leaving a clear gap in their attacking options. Director of football Hugo Viana describes Mbaye’s direct, explosive style as a long‑term solution that fits the profile desired by Enzo Maresca. Ibrahim Mbaye has emerged as one of the most exciting young wingers to graduate from the Paris Saint‑Germain academy in recent seasons. The 18‑year‑old combines speed, directness and technical quality, drawing attention from clubs across Europe despite a limited senior record.

Incredible Liverpool shift focus to PSG winger Ibrahim Mbaye

He logged 31 appearances in all competitions for Paris Saint‑Germain, contributing three goals and two assists. Sustained opportunities have been scarce because of fierce competition from Ousmane Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Bradley Barcola for the wide‑forward positions. The FIFA World Cup gave Mbaye a global platform, as he featured in four matches for Senegal. A notable cameo against France saw him beat Theo Hernández and cut the deficit with a powerful strike, raising his profile on the world stage. Paris Saint‑Germain are reportedly willing to sell the Senegal international for around £25 million, and Mbaye remains under contract until 2028. He has expressed a desire to join a club where regular first‑team football is guaranteed, rather than relying on rotation or injuries of established PSG stars. Mendes is “pushing a lot” to secure a solution this summer, while Premier League rivals Tottenham, Aston Villa, RB Leipzig and Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund also feature on his shortlist. The modest £25 million price tag, combined with Mendes’ representation, creates a competitive market where multiple elite clubs can realistically vie for the Senegalese talent, potentially shaping the summer transfer landscape.
