Mbaye's contract with PSG runs through 2028. The Senegalese international made his senior debut at 18 and has since made 42 professional appearances for Paris. According to L'Équipe, he is not opposed to leaving the club this summer.

Initially, Mbaye hoped to gain more playing time under Luis Enrique. However, as the new season approaches, he has gradually realized that consistent playing time will be difficult to secure at Paris. Consequently, the young forward wants to join a club that can guarantee him regular minutes.

Mbaye initially preferred to stay in France, but PSG's sporting director Luis Campos and head coach Luis Enrique explained the club's current plans to the player and his team. They clarified that Mbaye's playing time is not expected to increase significantly next season, and the decision about his future rests with the player himself.

Campos even suggested a loan. However, given Paris's recent Champions League success over two consecutive seasons and their continued plans to strengthen the attacking line, Mbaye has come to believe that leaving PSG and seeking a new platform for development would be more beneficial for his career progression.


PSG became aware several months ago that Mbaye could become a focal point of the summer transfer market, with several European giants already tracking the young player.

Currently, two main destinations have emerged: Germany and England.

In the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig, and Bayer Leverkusen have all expressed interest. In the Premier League, Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Chelsea have all made moves at various levels.

For a time, RB Leipzig was the club closest to signing Mbaye. The German side was negotiating with Paris for Jan Diomande's transfer and hoped to include Mbaye, who was born in Trappes, in the deal. However, with the Diomande transfer negotiations failing, this path also stalled.

Additionally, Bayer Leverkusen had previously submitted an offer to Paris, which, despite the specific amount remaining undisclosed, was rejected by the club.

Currently, all interested clubs and Mbaye's agent team (led by Jorge Mendes) are waiting for PSG to clarify the player's transfer fee. It is widely believed that if an offer meeting Paris's expectations is received, the club will not forcibly prevent Mbaye from departing.

However, if PSG's asking price is too high, some suitors may choose to withdraw from the competition.

At this stage, Mbaye himself has not yet decided on his final destination for next season. The Paris academy product is still evaluating various options, hoping to find the project best suited for his development.

If PSG's asking price for the transfer fee is reasonable, Mbaye might even opt for a mid-table team that can guarantee him a starting position, gain experience through consistent playing time, and then return to a top club in the future.

At present, the two most attractive options for him come from Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund.

Both clubs have presented Mbaye with detailed plans for his development, hoping to convince the young forward to join with a clear development pathway and playing opportunities. For Mbaye, this summer's decision will be a crucial turning point in his career.
