Transfer news – Emmanuel Mbemba will stay in Paris, but not at PSG | OneFootball

Emmanuel Mbemba, an 18-year-old defender trained at Paris Saint-Germain and under contract until 2026, had been tipped to leave this summer. Especially for the Bundesliga. Le Parisien now reports that the academy product is set to sign his much-anticipated first professional contract with Paris FC.

As this newspaper is particularly reliable when it comes to PSG’s young players, it seems likely that Mbemba has indeed made his choice. It makes sense if his aim is to get more accessible playing time without turning his whole life upside down. The academy product will not need a major move to join a club whose stadium is just across the street from the Parc des Princes. He may have to adjust for training, though even that is not certain.

We would have liked to see the young defender fight for a place at PSG over the years, but it is also difficult to offer hope to young players with a squad of such a high level. That is the downside, and it has to be accepted. We now hope that Mbemba will have no regrets, because moving to a “more accessible” spot is far from any guarantee.
