Elijah Ly and Samba Coulibaly, an 18-year-old winger and defender respectively, are among the Paris Saint-Germain players whose trainee contracts are expiring. A decision must therefore be made regarding their professional contracts. Onze Mondial confirms PSG’s interest in signing them, with the likelihood of a departure. This departure would most likely be to Club Brugge for the two academy graduates.
“It’s a Belgian club that seems to have taken the lead.”
“Elijah Ly, a dynamic left winger who plays on his weaker foot, and Samba Coulibaly, a central defender, have been offered their first professional contracts.
But for both players, the trend points towards leaving their youth club. Regarding the young attacker, Villarreal and PSV Eindhoven have expressed concrete interest, but a Belgian club seems to have taken the lead.
“Discussions are also reportedly at an advanced stage.”
Indeed, as reported by Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Club Brugge is in pole position to sign Elijah Ly. We can confirm this information. But that’s not all: Samba Coulibaly is also being courted by the Belgian champions, and discussions are also said to be at an advanced stage.”
However, nothing is certain until it’s finalized. This is always the case in the transfer market, especially with young players seeking their first professional contract. Things can change very quickly from one club to another. And PSG, for one, hasn’t given up yet.
The trend is towards a departure, which is always disappointing with academy graduates because we love to see them establish themselves in Paris. However, we also know that places are very hard to come by. We can understand the temptation of an adventure elsewhere, even if it’s not a guarantee of playing time, progress, and a successful career. Now we wait and see what happens with Ly and Coulibaly.
