For several years, Tuttosport has organized the Golden Boy award, a trophy that recognizes the best player under 21 years old playing in Europe. It begins with an initial list of 100 players, which is then reduced by 20 names every 20th of the month (July, August, etc.) until the finalists are chosen. For the 2026 edition, Paris Saint-Germain has four representatives among the 100 nominees: Senny Mayulu (20-year-old midfielder), Warren Zaïre-Emery (20-year-old midfielder), Ibrahim Mbaye (18-year-old forward), and Dro Fernandez (18-year-old midfielder). Désiré Doué (20-year-old midfielder/forward) is ineligible for nomination because he won the award in 2026, and the rules prevent him from winning it again.
The new feature this season is that the election is being held in partnership with the renowned Transfermarkt, which has implemented player ratings.
