Transfer news – Mbaye close to signing for Aston Villa! | OneFootball

Ibrahim Mbaye, an 18-year-old forward developed at Paris Saint-Germain and under professional contract until 2028, is on his way out in this transfer window as he would like more playing time. Several clubs have been reported as interested, including Liverpool. According to journalists David Ornstein, Fabrizio Romano and Fabrice Hawkins, the Paris academy product is now getting closer to Aston Villa.

These are generally reliable journalists, and they are more or less in agreement within a very short span of time, so there is reason to think Aston Villa is indeed making progress in the pursuit of Mbaye. That would be very good news for both PSG and the player. At €55 million, it can be seen as a very good sale for a forward who no longer really seemed to be part of coach Luis Enrique’s plans. As for Mbaye, the Premier League is a great league and Aston Villa is a club that just finished 4th and will play in the Champions League. Notably, against Paris during the league phase.

Be careful, though: it is not done yet. A degree of caution is still needed, especially regarding the exact fee. But there is reason to hope for concrete progress soon, while the Mbaye case had seemed somewhat stalled.
