Report: Leipzig interested in Ibrahim Mbaye

RB Leipzig continues its scouting ahead of the summer transfer window and has set its sights on young Senegalese international Ibrahim Mbaye (18), who is currently under contract with Paris Saint-Germain.

Leipzig captivated by Ibrahim Mbaye's profile

According to Sky Sport Germany, the German club is closely monitoring the progress of the young Senegalese winger, who has delivered impressive performances for PSG. His displays for the Senegalese national team at the 2026 World Cup and the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations have further boosted his appeal on the market.

The German outlet notes that Ibrahim Mbaye's profile is a perfect fit with RB Leipzig's recruitment strategy, which is renowned for targeting high-potential young talents. The club's management has reportedly carried out a thorough assessment of his technical skills, physical attributes, and development potential.

However, the deal is shaping up to be particularly complicated on the financial front. Still according to Sky Sport Germany, Leipzig would have to exceed its usual wage structure and budget framework to have any hope of convincing PSG.

The same source adds that the total cost of a potential transfer would even surpass what would have been required to land young German winger Saïd El Mala.

It's also worth noting that Ibrahim Mbaye is reportedly on the radar of several European heavyweights, including Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Borussia Dortmund, and Bayer Leverkusen.
