As every summer, young players reach the end of their trainee contracts, and the signing of their first professional contract is expected. At Paris Saint-Germain, facing immense competition within the squad, several departures are anticipated. L’Equipe mentions four players this Thursday morning: Zayon Chtaï-Telamio (19-year-old winger), Mathis Jangeal (17-year-old midfielder), Elijah Ly (18-year-old winger), and Samba Coulibaly (18-year-old defender).
A member of the Youth League semi-finalist generation, Zayon Chtaï-Telamio (19 years old) could join Guingamp. The Portuguese club Torreense has also expressed interest in this speedy winger.
Furthermore, Mathis Jangeal (17 years old), courted by FC Porto and Braga, could sign with Famalicão (Portuguese First Division). Winger Elijah Ly (18 years old) is attracting interest from Club Brugge and Villarreal. The Belgian club is also keeping an eye on defender Samba Coulibaly (18 years old).
These are credible reports, especially since the media rarely makes headlines without some solid evidence regarding these players, who tend to attract less attention. In any case, without an announcement from PSG about these academy players, departures are gradually taking shape. Although surprises remain possible. We know the transfer window can move very quickly, particularly for these young players who are free agents.
There will undoubtedly be disappointment among the fans, as some talented players are making a name for themselves, and the club’s supporters would like to see them develop in Paris. But we must accept that the demands are very high, and we can understand that players seek more playing time elsewhere. Even if this doesn’t guarantee anything for the future.
