Here is the latest installment in the saga: a roundup of the latest news regarding Paris Saint-Germain’s transfer market activity. We take a look at the last 24 hours (this update was published early in the evening) to see what is happening—or not—and what is progressing or causing a surprise. Today, the focus is on Lucas Digne and Adam Ayari.
It’s official:
- Adam Ayari has signed his first professional contract.
Adam Ayari, an 18-year-old attacking midfielder/winger developed at PSG, has officially signed his first professional contract, running until 2029. The “Titi” (PSG academy product) is set to continue his development in Paris, hoping to gradually earn a spot in the first-team squad. Of course, PSG won’t simply hand him opportunities on a plate, even though the club is committed to nurturing its academy talent. A loan move initially cannot be ruled out, although nothing of the sort is currently being discussed.
Potential transfers nearing completion:
- Is Lucas Digne heading back to PSG?
It is classic PSG style: a rumor emerges, and suddenly everything could be settled very quickly. This Monday, numerous media outlets reported significant progress in PSG’s bid to bring back Lucas Digne—the 32-year-old Aston Villa and France left-back who previously played for the Parisian club from 2013 to 2016. Paris could take advantage of a release clause set at around €10 million to bring back the French international, who has backed up his excellent World Cup campaign with strong form. His continued attachment to PSG is also a factor in his favor.
According to some journalists, an agreement is already in place between Digne and PSG; the next step is to negotiate with Aston Villa to avoid triggering the release clause.
