PSG Winger Fires Back at Journalist Over Entourage Criticism
Dragged into a major controversy over a potentially harmful entourage, PSG winger Ibrahim Mbaye decided to respond to Romain Molina in a social media post.
For a few hours, Mbaye, 18, has found himself in a storm he would have liked to avoid during this transfer window period. This Sunday, the PSG forward indeed took a few hits from journalist Romain Molina .
In a video posted on his YouTube account, the journalist strongly criticized the entourage of the Senegal international.
According to Molina, the parents of the young winger allegedly made rather crazy demands of the agents who wanted to represent their son, whether financially, regarding image rights, or in financing projects.
In addition, the independent journalist suggested that PSG is convinced many leaks come from the entourage of the Senegal international, especially his father.
Now represented by Gestifute, Jorge Mendes’ agency, Mbaye felt the need to respond to the accusations publicly on his social media.
“It’s fascinating how people can slander my family and me… But hey, there is a God; God will do the right thing for those people! But hey, it makes you laugh that people can go so far like that. Mom, Dad, I love you,” the PSG player explained in an Instagram story.
No longer really in favor at PSG, Ibrahim Mbaye is clearly considering packing his bags during this summer transfer window. According to the latest information from RMC, several Premier League clubs such as Liverpool, Tottenham, Manchester City, and Chelsea, as well as Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund, are interested in the 18-year-old forward’s profile .
Open to a departure for its academy product, the PSG management is still reportedly demanding €50 million to let go of its Africa Cup of Nations runner-up, who will have to restore his image on the pitch in the coming months.
There is no doubt that Mbaye is really talented and surely has a successful career ahead, but at this point, the best thing for both the club and the player could be a departure.
The winger had a very good Africa Cup of Nations and then a pretty decent World Cup performance with Senegal. He also showed some flashes of talent with PSG under Luis Enrique, so interested clubs will not be missing.
We will have to wait to know for certain what PSG's attacking front will look like. We all know that Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Ousmane Dembele, and Desire Doue will be the starting trio, but there are a lot of doubts around their backups.
