PSG: Ibrahim Mbaye will sign his first professional contract

Big move from the Senegalese Football Federation. According to RMCthe Parisian titi Ibrahim Mbaye chose to represent Senegal rather than the French team. Capped 29 times in the French youth selections, the 17-year-old winger has been identified since a very young age as one of the great hopes of the PSG training center. He was also crowned Titi d’Or 2024, a trophy rewarding the best player in the Parisian academy each year.

As a reminder, Luis Enrique did not hesitate to launch him professionally at the age of 16 last season, and the Parisian coach has even often repeated how much he was counting on him. Always according to RMCMbaye will be called up this week by the Senegalese coach, Pape Thiaw, for the friendly match against Brazil on November 15. He will not be the only rookie, since Strasbourg’s Mamadou Sarr will also be summoned. French youth international and potential candidate to join the A one day, the 20-year-old player has also chosen to represent the Lions. Senegal affirms its ambitions.
