Senny Mayulu, a 19-year-old midfielder/forward who came through the Paris Saint-Germain youth academy, signed his first professional contract in May 2024, running until 2027, and has established himself in the first team over the months. This has fueled rumors and speculation about a contract extension. Le Parisien reported on Thursday that the young player is heading for a departure, but Djamel quickly denied this.
Le Parisien:
It’s a question of money, a salary increase. The club makes the offer, and then the player accepts or rejects it. If he doesn’t agree, he asks for more and sees what happens.
If he agrees, he extends his contract. Based on experience, PSG can accept one counter-offer, but not two. This is what is currently causing Senny Mayulu to leave at the end of the season. The club is unhappy that he has refused three offers. The point of no return seems to have been reached. »
Djamel:
That’s false, the situation hasn’t changed since my last tweets.
At this moment, negotiations are still ongoing and further discussions are planned.
The player’s priority remains reaching an agreement with the club.
Unsurprisingly, the initial announcement provoked numerous reactions from fans, and Djamel’s response was the opposite. It mainly reflects the usual caution one must exercise regarding transfer rumors. It’s difficult to be certain, and everything can change very quickly. The contract extension negotiations sometimes stall, and a departure isn’t out of the question, even though Mayulu’s priority is to stay.
It’s also possible that his entourage is using this desire to avoid criticism surrounding the player. It could also put pressure on the club. There’s a media game at play, so let’s wait for an official announcement to clarify things. Everything is still up in the air, and we’re hoping for a clear decision this summer, as having a player whose contract is expiring in the squad can be difficult.
