A young revelation at the start of the season for Paris Saint-Germain, Ibrahim Mbaye convinced his coach Luis Enrique to start him in Le Havre at the start of the championship. PSG wants to sign its nugget to his first professional contract.
He is the player that we did not necessarily expect at the start of the season on the Paris Saint-Germain side. Starting in the first match of the Ligue 1 season on the Stade Océane pitch against Le Havre on August 16 (Parisian success four goals to one), Ibrahim Mbaye became at 16 years old the youngest player to start a match for the capital club. Luis Enrique then reiterated his confidence in him by bringing him into play against Montpellier then Brest at the Parc des Princes. The Spanish coach had included him in the group that had started the preparation and Mbaye, who plays as a striker, had found the back of the net against Sturm Graz, Brest’s recent opponent in the Champions League. Now, Paris Saint-Germain, who have a lot of faith in their player, hope to change his status soon, he who still has an aspirant contract with PSG until 2026.
PSG wants a professional contract for Mbaye
According to information from L’Equipe, Paris Saint-Germain has begun negotiations for Mbaye to sign his first professional contract with the capital club, a fate that recalls that of Warren Zaire-Emery who, despite his young age, already has an important role in his training club. Zoumana Camara, who coached him at the U19 level, is in any case certain of the player’s potential: “He has huge potential. In terms of volume, explosiveness and impact, he can already bring something to this group. In a possession team like Paris, for an attacking player, it’s a little simpler. He can come in and make a difference when the game is more open and take advantage of the spaces. He already has the maturity for senior football. We’ll have to see how to manage his playing time because at that age, we need continuity. There are competent people to manage that.”he believes. The ball is in PSG’s court, which will do everything to lock in the future of its nugget in the coming weeks.
