On September 1, 2026, Aston Villa confirmed the arrival of striker Ibrahim Mbaye, just 18 years old, who played for Paris Saint-Germain. The English club will invest 47 million pounds, a value equivalent to around R$343 million in the current conversion, to have the young right-winger in its squad.
Mbaye is seen as one of the most promising talents to emerge from PSG’s youth ranks. The striker got opportunities in the main squad at a young age and is now leaving French football to compete in the Premier League.
The Aston Villa team announced the signing of the athlete through their social media platforms. Although he was born in France, the striker plays for the Senegal national team. Mbaye plays his primary role on the right wing, but has the versatility to play in other offensive areas.
The £47 million spent in this transaction positions the 18-year-old as one of Aston Villa’s most significant acquisitions in this current transfer window.
