Aston Villa agree deal to sign PSG winger Ibrahim Mbaye

Published 29 August 2026

Aston Villa have reached an agreement in principle to sign Paris Saint-Germain winger Ibrahim Mbaye in a deal worth approximately 55 million euros, marking a significant move in the club's extensive summer rebuild. The 18-year-old Senegal international is expected to travel to complete a medical, though he will not be eligible for Monday's Premier League match against Arsenal. The transfer, first reported by journalist David Ornstein, sees Villa secure a long-term target after a turbulent window that has seen the departure of several key players. The agreement comes after Liverpool, who had previously been in discussions for Mbaye, stepped aside due to the cost of the deal.
