Chelsea and Aston Villa Monitor PSG Teen Ibrahim Mbaye as Paris Stance Points to No January Sale

PSG's control through 2028 makes a transfer this month unlikely.

Overview

  • Transfer reporter Florian Plettenberg says Chelsea and Aston Villa are closely tracking the 18-year-old winger ahead of the winter deadline.
  • PSG are determined to keep Mbaye and are considering fresh terms, with no current intention to let him leave.
  • Mbaye’s deal runs to 2028 after PSG activated a one-year option in December 2025, strengthening the club’s leverage.
  • The teenager’s AFCON breakout for Senegal, including a goal and key contributions off the bench, has elevated interest across Europe.
  • German interest has also been noted, including long-standing admiration from RB Leipzig, suggesting a market developing for future windows.
