Paris Saint-Germain is seeing yet another academy player leave to sign his first professional contract. The player in question is Aymen Assab, a 17-year-old midfielder from the Parisian club. According to L’Équipe, he has signed with AS Monaco.
Aymen Assab has signed his contract with AS Monaco and is therefore leaving PSG. Paris tried to keep him until the very end by negotiating a professional contract. Assab is set to join the professional squad at ASM.
This journalist is reliable when it comes to PSG’s academy prospects, so there is little doubt here; he wouldn’t make such a definitive statement without being certain. While the transfer market can move quickly—especially regarding these crucial first contracts—this move would come as a genuine surprise. Assab will now aim to truly launch his professional career at Monaco.
It is a slight disappointment, as there was hope he might gradually carve out a role for himself in Paris. However, it is understandable that the fierce competition might make him worry about securing playing time in the near future. Opportunities may be more accessible elsewhere—even if that doesn’t guarantee faster or more successful development.
