The 2025 summer mercato isn’t open yet, of course, but it’s already underway, so rumors about Paris Saint-Germain still arrive from time to time. This time, it’s the Frankfurter Rundschau (via its journalist Christopher Michel) who reports that Axel Tape, a 17-year-old defender trained at PSG and due to leave the club this summer, is the target of two major German clubs.
According to the German media, Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayer Leverkusen are ready to fight for Axel Tape this summer. The latter is reportedly thinking of leaving, as we have already seen in a number of other media, and is tempted by the Bundesliga. And with a Premier League club also in the running.
Nothing impossible, given that the PSG star is one of the most promising players of his generation. He was even able to rub shoulders with the professional squad on a regular basis. But it seems that he hasn’t totally convinced us, or that he’s already decided to leave. In any case, he’s been on the sidelines for some time now when it comes to making the squad for matches.
A departure seems a real possibility, and the Bundesliga is an almost traditional destination for young French players. There have been some great successes, which is encouraging. In any case, young people often get their chance in Germany. It’s just a question of seizing it.
But don’t worry, nothing’s been decided yet. We still have to wait for certainties. We’ve already seen some big moves at the mercato, particularly with the Titis.
