English club Manchester City has entered the race to sign young Senegalese forward Ibrahim Mbaye, a Paris Saint-Germain player, during the current summer transfer window, amid growing interest from several European clubs in securing his services.

Mbaye, 18, is considered one of the most prominent rising talents in European football and among the standout players of the 2008 generation, having caught the eye with Paris Saint-Germain and the Senegal national team, making him a target for a number of top clubs.

Previous reports had linked the player with a move to the English Premier League, with interest from both Tottenham and Aston Villa, especially given the player's desire for a new experience outside the Parisian club.

Interest was not limited to English clubs, as reports indicated that German sides RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund are also monitoring the player, benefiting from their reputation for developing young talents and giving them opportunities to shine.

Mbaye has played 42 matches in a Paris Saint-Germain shirt across all competitions, scoring 4 goals and providing 4 assists, which has strengthened his status as one of the most promising wingers emerging in Europe.

According to French site 'Foot Mercato', Manchester City has included Mbaye's name on its shortlist for summer signings, as the club prepares to reorganize its attacking line following the departure of several players.

The former English champions' interest comes amid the departure of Portuguese Bernardo Silva to Real Madrid, along with reports suggesting the possible departure of Brazilian Savinho during the current transfer window.

Although Mbaye was not a regular starter for Senegal in the 2026 World Cup, he managed to make the most of the minutes he received, playing 160 minutes in 4 matches and delivering notable performances.

His most prominent moment in the tournament came against France, when he led his country's comeback in a match that ended in a 3-1 loss for Senegal, after dribbling past Theo Hernandez and scoring with a powerful shot, a move that highlighted his great potential.
