Naoufel El Hannach, a 19-year-old central defender trained at Paris Saint-Germain, has joined Montpellier HSC on a season-long loan, as announced by PSG on its official networks. The move is designed to give the promising Parisian more playing time so that he can progress.
“Trained at Paris Saint-Germain, Naoufel El Hannach joins Montpellier HSC on a season-long loan.
The Club wishes Naoufel a very good season.”
Naoufel El Hannach’s season-long loan to Montpellier represents a strategic step in his development. Despite completing his training at Paris Saint-Germain, the young defender was struggling to find his place in an ultra-competitive Parisian squad, where competition is fierce, particularly in central defense.
His temporary move to MHSC gives him the opportunity to gain experience at the highest level, rack up the minutes and establish himself against experienced Ligue 1 opponents. For PSG, it is also a question of enhancing the value of its training center and preparing for the future by allowing its young talents to mature. If El Hannach succeeds in establishing himself at Montpellier, he will return to Paris with valuable experience, ready to take on the challenge of becoming a permanent member of PSG’s professional squad.
