Ibrahim Mbaye (born 24 January 2008) is a professional footballer who plays as a forward for Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain. Born in France, he plays for the Senegal national team.

Club career

[edit | edit source]

Mbaye started his youth career in 2013 at ES Guyancourt before joining Versailles in 2015.[1] In 2018, at the age of 10, he joined the Paris Saint-Germain Academy.[1][2] In the 2023–24 season, while aged 16, Mbaye helped the PSG under-19s achieve victory in the Championnat National U19 play-offs, scoring against Marseille in a 2–0 win in the semi-finals and setting up Senny Mayulu's second goal in the 3–1 victory over Auxerre in the final.[3][4]

On 14 July 2024, Mbaye was called up for pre-season with Paris Saint-Germain's first team, having impressed head coach Luis Enrique.[5][6][7] On 7 August, he made his first appearance and start for the club in a 2–2 friendly draw against Sturm Graz.[1] Nine minutes into the match, he scored PSG's first goal of the season after receiving an assist from Marco Asensio.[8][9][10] Following PSG's second pre-season match on 10 August against RB Leipzig, in which Mbaye was a starter, Luis Enrique praised Mbaye's performance, saying he was satisfied with his play.[11][12]

On 16 August, Mbaye made his official debut for PSG, playing the first half of a 4–1 victory away to Le Havre, the first match of the 2024–25 Ligue 1 season. He became the youngest player to start a game for PSG at 16 years, 6 months, and 23 days, surpassing the record of his teammate Warren Zaïre-Emery.[13] On 7 February 2025, it was announced that Mbaye had signed his first professional contract with PSG, a deal until 2027.[14]

On 26 February 2025 he made his debut in Coupe de France by coming on as a substitute against 4th tier side Saint Brieuc, as PSG won the game 7–0 and qualified for the semi-finals.[15]

On 29 March 2025, he scored his first professional goal with PSG, in a 6–1 Ligue 1 win against Saint-Étienne.[16]

On 15 June 2025, Mbaye was subbed on in a 4–0 win against Atlético Madrid in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup; at the age of 17 years, 4 months and 22 days old, he became the youngest Frenchman (and the sixth youngest player overall) to play in the FIFA Club World Cup.[17]

On 13 August 2025, Mbaye came on as a substitute in the 2025 UEFA Super Cup as PSG beat Tottenham Hotspur, overtaking Ryan Giggs as the youngest player to win the UEFA Super Cup at the age of 17 years, 6 months and 19 days. He also became the youngest Frenchman to play in the Super Cup, and the second-youngest player ever after Ronald de Boer in 1987 to play in the competition.[18]

International career

[edit | edit source]

Mbaye has represented France at various youth levels.[2] At the 2024 Montaigu Tournament, he helped the France under-16s achieve victory while picking up the award for the competition's best player.[19] He was part of the France under-18s that finished third in the 2024 Lafarge Foot Avenir.[20]

In November 2025, Mbaye received his first call-up to the Senegal national team,[21] making his debut against Brazil on 15 November.[22] Three days later, on 18 November, on his second cap, he scored his first international goal in an 8–0 victory in a friendly game against Kenya, becoming at 17 years 9 months and 25 days Senegal’s youngest ever goalscorer.[23] On 15 December 2025, Mbaye's request to switch international allegiance to Senegal was approved by FIFA.[24]
