The 21-year-old spent the last season on loan at Barcelona before making a permanent move to the club ahead of the 2024-25 season. He will sign a two-year deal to be valid until June 30, 2026.
Mbacke played along with Mikayil Faye last season but might need a new partner if the defender is promoted to the first team. Barca Atletic is looking for a new coach after Rafa Marquez’s departure.
