Transfer window – PSG have decided on Naoufel El-Hannach | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain are expected to loan out versatile 19-year-old defender Naoufel El-Hannach to Montpellier HSC again for the upcoming season. Already sent to MHSC in Ligue 2 last season, the young Parisian is expected in Hérault, according to information from Loïc Tanzi for L’Équipe.

The report appears particularly solid, as Loïc Tanzi directly presents the defender’s return to Montpellier as a done deal. The L’Équipe journalist is regularly well informed on Paris Saint-Germain’s transfer activity. However, the move will still need to be made official by both clubs before it can be considered fully completed.

This second consecutive loan would offer Naoufel El-Hannach some continuity. The young defender would return to an environment he already knows and could continue his development with more playing time in Ligue 2. Initially expected back with the Paris first-team squad, he therefore should not take part in the full pre-season preparation under Luis Enrique.

This decision does not necessarily mean that PSG no longer see a future for the player. At 19, another regular season at Montpellier may be considered more beneficial than a limited role in Paris’s rotation. Paris would thus be prioritizing a step-by-step development path without permanently parting ways with a player developed at the club.
