Club career

[edit]

Mbaye started his youth career in 2013 at ES Guyancourt before joining Versailles in 2015.[1] In 2018, at the age of 10, he joined the Paris Saint-Germain Academy.[1][2] 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 one of Senny Mayulu's second goal in the 3–1 victory over Auxerre in the final.[3][4]

On 14 July 2024, Mbaye was called up for pre-season with Paris Saint-Germain's first team, having impressed head coach Luis Enrique.[5][6][7] On 7 August, he made his first appearance and start for the club in a 2–2 friendly draw against Sturm Graz.[1] Nine minutes into the match, he scored PSG's first goal of the season after receiving an assist from Marco Asensio.[8][9][10] 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.[11][12] 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.[13]
