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 L’Equipe that’s announcing a surprising arrival. Ilian Mhand, a 19-year-old Belgian-Moroccan winger, has been with the Espoirs squad for a few days now, even though his club, KMSK Deinze (Belgian 2nd division), has gone bankrupt.
“The left-winger has been training with the club’s Espoirs squad for several days now. Initial feedback from his sessions has been very positive, despite the fact that the Brussels-born player is free of any contract following the bankruptcy of his club, KMSK Deinze (Belgian D2). Mhand played three Championship matches with the professional squad this season.
It would be very surprising for the sports paper to be so randomly assertive, and such information can’t be made up. We assume that Mhand is approaching PSG, even if there’s nothing certain until it’s signed.
It would be a great use of the Espoirs group, to test a player and then see him adapt to a possible place in the first team one day. Even if the path is of course difficult. It will take patience and hard work.
Let’s wait and see if the positive results are confirmed by a signing. It could be a coup for PSG.
