Borussia Dortmund have registered their interest in Paris Saint-Germain winger Ibrahim Mbaye, according to reports from Fabrizio Romano. The Bundesliga side have contacted PSG to enquire about the availability of the 18-year-old, signalling a potential move to strengthen their attacking options.
Mbaye has emerged as a promising talent within the PSG youth setup, making 42 appearances for the club across various competitions and contributing with four goals and four assists. While he has not yet become a regular starter for the Parisian giants, his performances have attracted attention from other European clubs. His current contract with PSG is valid until 2028, suggesting the club values him highly, and any potential transfer would likely require a significant offer.
Alongside Dortmund’s interest, the Premier League is also monitoring Mbaye’s situation, with Aston Villa reportedly among the clubs considering a move for the teenager. This competition could potentially drive up the transfer fee should Dortmund decide to pursue the player further. Dortmund are likely seeking to add depth and youthful exuberance to their wide attacking positions, and Mbaye’s profile fits that criteria.
The Black and Yellows are currently navigating a period of transition under their current management, aiming to build a squad capable of consistently challenging for the Bundesliga title and making a significant impact in the Champions League. Adding a player with Mbaye’s potential could be a key step in that process. Dortmund have a history of developing young talent, and the club’s environment could provide Mbaye with a platform to flourish and reach his full potential. The move could offer Mbaye more consistent first-team opportunities than he currently receives in Paris, accelerating his development as a professional footballer.
