Famalicão close to sealing Mathis Jangéal, FC Porto target | OneFootball

Famalicão may have gotten the better of FC Porto in the race for a young PSG prospect. All signs point to the Famalicão club being very close to securing the signing of Mathis Jangéal.

The 17-year-old French midfielder is set to leave PSG and is expected to sign for Famalicão in the coming days, according to newspaper Le Parisien. It should be noted that the player will turn 18 on June 24, so he will have to wait until reaching legal age to complete the transfer.

Mathis Jangéal came through the entire youth system at Paris Saint-Germain and progressed through the ranks within the club. Last season, he established himself as one of the standout players in the under-19 team, recording ten goals and six assists in 19 matches.

The young midfielder was also used a few times by the under-21s, where he registered one assist in three games. In addition, he also had the opportunity to be called up by Luis Enrique to play in two matches for the first team.

The Frenchman’s talent has not gone unnoticed by several clubs, especially as he has been standing out in PSG’s youth setup. He also won the Coupe Gambardella and reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Youth League, a competition in which PSG was eventually knocked out on penalties by Real Madrid.

Despite receiving a renewal offer from PSG, Mathis Jangéal believes Famalicão represents the ideal next step in his career. The Portuguese club has been investing heavily in young players, and the results have been positive. In addition, Famalicão offers a solid project, which proved successful last season.

It should be remembered that Hugo Oliveira’s men finished the 2025/26 season in fifth place in the Primeira Liga, with 56 points from 34 matches, ending up just three points short of the Conference League qualification spot, which ultimately went to Braga.

Famalicão was not alone in the race for the prospect

The Famalicão club was not the only one keeping an eye on Mathis Jangéal’s potential, as French newspaper L’Équipe revealed two weeks ago.

In fact, there were several clubs interested in the youngster, including FC Porto. The Dragons had the midfielder on their radar in an attempt to take advantage of his contract expiring with PSG on June 30.

The same French publication also reported that Braga was among the clubs monitoring the player’s situation. Even so, the Portuguese sides were not alone in this race, as Mathis Jangéal was also being tracked in Germany. Hamburg and Stuttgart were two other clubs open to signing the Frenchman.
