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

Mbaye started his youth career in 2013 at ES Guyancourt before joining Versailles in 2015.[2] In 2018, at the age of 10, he joined the Paris Saint-Germain Academy.[2][3] 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.[4][5]

On 14 July 2024, Mbaye was called up for pre-season with Paris Saint-Germain's first team, having impressed head coach Luis Enrique.[6][7][8] On 7 August, he made his first appearance and start for the club in a 2–2 friendly draw against Sturm Graz.[2] Nine minutes into the match, he scored PSG's first goal of the season after receiving an assist from Marco Asensio.[9][10][11] 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.[12][13]

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.[14] On 7 February 2025, it was announced that Mbaye had signed his first professional contract with PSG, a deal until 2027.[15] On 26 February, he made his debut in Coupe de France by coming on as a substitute against fourth-tier side Stade Briochin, as PSG won the game 7–0 and qualified for the semi-finals.[16] On 29 March 2025, he scored his first professional goal with PSG, in a 6–1 Ligue 1 win against Saint-Étienne.[17]

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.[18] 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.[19]

Mbaye made his UEFA Champions League debut as a substitute in a 4–0 win over Atalanta on 17 September 2025.[20] On 13 May 2026, he netted a stoppage-time goal in a 2–0 away win over Lens, securing his club's 14th Ligue 1 title.[21]

International career

edit

Mbaye has represented France at various youth levels.[3] At the 2024 Montaigu Tournament, he helped the France under-16s achieve victory while picking up the award for the competition's best player.[22] He was part of the France under-18s that finished third in the 2024 Lafarge Foot Avenir.[23]

In November 2025, Mbaye received his first call-up to the Senegal national team,[24] making his debut against Brazil on 15 November.[25] 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.[26] On 15 December 2025, Mbaye's request to switch international allegiance to Senegal was approved by FIFA.[27]

On 23 December 2025, he played Senegal’s first group stage game at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations against Botswana, which is held in his maternal ancestral Morocco, to become at 17 years 10 months and 29 days the youngest Senegalese ever to play at the Africa Cup of Nations.[28] On 3 January 2026, he scored his second goal with Senegal in a 3–1 win over Sudan in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations round of 16, to become, at 17 years 11 months and 10 days, his country's youngest ever goalscorer in the Africa Cup of Nations.[29]

On 21 May 2026, Mbaye was officially selected by Senegal's coach Pape Thiaw from his list of 28 players to participate in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.[30] A month later, on 16 June, he came on as a substitute and scored in a 3–1 defeat against France on his World Cup debut, becoming at 18 years and 142 days both Senegal's youngest player and the youngest African goalscorer in FIFA World Cup history.[31]
