Senegalese winger Ibrahim Mbaye attracts interest from FC Porto
Senegalese winger Ibrahim Mbaye has emerged as a transfer target for FC Porto, with the Portuguese club reportedly preparing to compete for the Paris Saint-Germain youngster before the end of the summer window.
The 18-year-old is already attracting interest from several European clubs, with Liverpool, Borussia Dortmund and Aston Villa also linked with a move for the teenager.
According to journalist and transfer market expert Nicoló Schira, FC Porto have now added their name to the list of clubs monitoring Mbaye’s situation and are expected to try to secure his services.
Mbaye’s future at PSG remains uncertain as he continues to be under contract with the French club until 2028.
However, the Senegalese winger has yet to agree an extension, increasing speculation that he could leave Paris despite having three years remaining on his current deal.
The uncertainty surrounding his contract has placed his future under renewed scrutiny, with several clubs reportedly keeping track of his situation.
FC Porto’s interest now adds another option for Mbaye as he considers the next stage of his career.
The Portuguese side will face competition from clubs in both England and Germany, with Liverpool, Dortmund and Aston Villa previously identified as potential destinations for the young winger.
Mbaye’s situation has also led to comparisons with other players who have departed PSG, including Gonçalo Ramos and Lee Kang-In.
The possibility of a move away from the French capital is therefore becoming increasingly prominent, although no final decision has been made regarding the winger’s future.
With the summer transfer window approaching its deadline, the coming weeks could prove important for Mbaye and PSG.
For FC Porto, the task will be to convince the Senegalese youngster that Portugal is the right destination for the next stage of his development.
Mbaye must now consider his options as interest continues to grow around him.
The teenager could remain in Paris, move to Portugal with FC Porto, or pursue opportunities in England or Germany.
For now, his future remains unresolved, but FC Porto’s emergence as the latest contender has added another potential destination to an increasingly competitive transfer race.
