21-year-old winger Djeidi Gassama, who has played for Paris Saint-Germain, has officially signed for Glasgow Rangers in a transfer valued at €2.5 million. As Fabrice Hawkins explained, this deal offers PSG a handsome gain: 20% on resale, or around €500,000 for the Parisian coffers.
“Djeidi Gassama has signed for Rangers FC!!!
Paris Saint-Germain had negotiated 20% on resale according to an old post by @FabriceHawkins!
Le Titi was sold for 2.5M€! Paris recovers about 500K€ !”
The trajectory of Djeidi Gassama (21) illustrates Paris Saint-Germain’s ability to make the most of its young talents, even after they have left the club. Trained in the capital and having played for the club’s U17 and U19 teams, the Franco-Mauritanian striker joined Sheffield Wednesday in the summer of 2023.
By negotiating a robust resale percentage (20%), PSG anticipates both the progression of its ex-Titis and the circulation of the value created on the market, a principle now at the heart of the Parisian strategy.
Gassama, who also had a taste of the Parisian Ligue 1 during an appearance with the pros, embodies the hope of seeing former academy graduates make their mark abroad. Thanks to his recent transfer to Glasgow, Paris has secured a return on investment of around €500,000, confirming that the policy of training and post-departure follow-up can become a significant financial lever for the club.
