Aston Villa confirm €55m signing of Ibrahim Mbaye from PSG
Aston Villa have confirmed Ibrahim Mbaye’s move from PSG in a deal valued at €55m, with PSG counting additional elements and retaining a sell-on component.
Aston Villa have confirmed the signing of Ibrahim Mbaye from Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday, completing a permanent move. Details were first published by Ben Jacobs.
According to the report, Villa value the transfer at €55m. PSG are said to frame the package at €60m, with Villa agreeing a €1m solidarity payment to the French club, and the champions also retaining a sell-on clause carrying a guaranteed €4m.
The differing totals indicate the clubs are accounting for the same agreement in contrasting ways, with the Paris side including additional elements beyond the headline figure. While Villa’s stance reflects the core transfer price, PSG’s view factors in ancillary payments tied to the move and potential future resale.
The confirmation establishes that the deal is complete and Mbaye has officially joined the Premier League side. Further terms such as contract length have not been set out in the initial reporting.
The report adds that PSG protected future value with a guaranteed sell-on component, on top of the solidarity payment accounted for within the overall package.
