Laciné Megnan-Pavé, a 16-year-old forward developed at Montpellier and under contract until 2028, is considered one of the top talents of his generation. According to several journalists and media outlets, Paris Saint-Germain has decided to make a strong push to sign him.
Santi Aouna:
PSG are making a strong move for Laciné Megnan-Pavé (16).
Negotiations are underway between PSG and Montpellier to seal a permanent deal expected to exceed €10m.
Arsenal, Manchester United, and other European clubs wanted to sign him, but the player wants to join Paris.
Fabrice Hawkins:
Paris Saint-Germain has reached an agreement with 16-year-old talent Laciné Megnan-Pavé. A 5-year contract. The capital club has submitted several offers to Montpellier, which were rejected. PSG hopes to sign him this summer
Fabrizio Romano:
These are generally reliable journalists; it would be very surprising if they were all mentioning this potential surprise signing around the same time purely by chance. There is every reason to believe that PSG is indeed moving forward with the pursuit of Megnan-Pavé, a forward with a bright future. He might initially play for the U19 squad, gradually easing into the professional setup. Perhaps via a loan deal. In any case, it seems clear there is a genuine plan for this young talent, who played in the Gambardella Cup final against PSG at the end of last season. Let’s wait for confirmation, though; nothing is finalized yet. Montpellier hasn’t said its last word.
