PSG press review: Luis Enrique gives academy youngsters a chance | OneFootball

This Wednesday, September 3rd, the French press (on the sports side) focused on Paris Saint-Germain and the promotion of young players to the professional group during training. This was done without neglecting to prepare for some possible signings during the winter transfer window.

Le Parisien –

The newspaper is on strike against a potential sale of the daily to the Bolloré group.

L’Equipe –

Indeed, with a few injuries in the squad, Luis Enrique recently called up some young players to training, some of whom had already joined a few times before. These include Martin James (17-year-old goalkeeper), Wassim Slama (attacking midfielder who turns 17 tomorrow), Mathis Jeangeal (17-year-old midfielder), Yanis Khafi (19-year-old midfielder), and Quentin Ndjantou (18-year-old forward). This is a way to bolster the training group, manage the workload for some starters, and show the Titis that the club is attentive and that opportunities are possible.

This does not necessarily mean they will play soon; they need to adapt to a different pace and higher demands. But it is already an important step, and some playing time can still be considered. PSG’s project is clear: to rely on the great talents developed in its academy. That does not prevent them from keeping an eye on opportunities in the transfer market to strengthen the squad. The competition is fierce, as expected.
