Lacking playing time in Paris, Ibrahim Mbaye could look for opportunities elsewhere, as he is being courted by numerous European clubs this summer. However, recent reports concerning his family and their influence over their son could dampen the enthusiasm of the various suitors.

Ibrahim Mbaye is attracting interest from numerous European clubs, as reported by RMC Sport this afternoon. Lacking playing time at Paris Saint-Germain , the 18-year-old Senegalese international winger (15 caps, 4 goals) is frustrated by the limited minutes he is given by Luis Enrique . Faced with this situation, the Parisian prodigy is looking for a way out, which could prove more difficult than expected given recent reports about the influence his family exerts over his career.

Excessive demands placed on agencies According to information gathered by Romain Molina , Ibrahim Mbaye 's entourage has changed representatives three times in one year. This constant turnover is explained by the family's numerous demands on the agents. In a video posted Sunday evening, Molina indicates that the Parisian youth player's entourage has demanded 50% of the player's commissions and image rights, in addition to being present during all negotiations.

This already audacious request is accompanied by other rather outlandish demands. As Romain Molina indicates, the entourage reportedly asked the Golden Gate agency to finance several projects, notably the "Mbaye Foundation." This foundation would include the construction of a hospital, the opening of a second-chance school, as well as the funding of educational, cultural, and sporting programs. The PSG player's family also wanted funding for local charitable initiatives. In addition to this, there are numerous other funding requests abroad (an academy in Senegal and a football club in France, and a transport business between Morocco and Senegal involving the purchase of trucks and maritime transport).

Ibrahim Mbaye joined Jorge Mendes without ever meeting him Local and international demands covered several areas, including investment in startups in France and abroad, but also touched on the daily lives of the Mbaye family. Romain Molina indicates that the family wanted a box at the Parc des Princes stadium , coverage of travel and professional expenses, a Viano-type vehicle, offices in Paris, and an annual operating budget to create a sports agency run by the family.

The sheer number of inquiries deterred agencies and prompted the family to change representatives three times in a single year, while five to seven people reportedly spoke on their behalf to clubs interested in the 18-year-old prodigy. Ibrahim Mbaye has since signed with the renowned agent Jorge Mendes. This change of representatives was entirely decided by the Parisian youth player's parents, who signed with the Portuguese agent without Ibrahim Mbaye ever meeting or speaking with him. Further evidence of this glaring lack of communication is that the Parisian winger wanted to join Aston Villa, while Jorge Mendes placed Alejandro Garnacho there just a few days ago.

The young Parisian is losing his footing, PSG wants to get rid of him From the player's perspective, the situation is becoming complicated in Paris, according to Romain Molina. While his entourage has only served to instill in him a sense of his level of play—his father even declaring after the Africa Cup of Nations, "My son is Lamine Yamal! He's the best, he's better than Dembélé, why isn't he playing?"— Ibrahim Mbaye has completely let himself go. In his video, Romain Molina indicates that the Parisian has gained weight and accumulated lateness to training, which has led the club to relegate him in the pecking order. To the point that the Parisian staff no longer wanted anything to do with him.

The coaching staff's criticisms were reportedly kept from Ibrahim Mbaye. His parents apparently didn't share this information with him. It was Luis Campos who had to contact the Senegalese player to break the news. This overall situation doesn't bode well for the young Parisian's future in the capital, and it could also deter several suitors, given the family's control over this promising talent who simply wants to play football
