Transfer news – A PSG player off to Manchester City!

The 2026 summer transfer window is here, so rumors surrounding Paris Saint-Germain are piling up. This time, it is Le Parisien and journalist Fabrizio Romano reporting the departure of 18-year-old defender Hermann Malonga to Manchester City. The player is leaving to sign his first professional contract.

Le Parisien:

“Hermann Malonga is preparing to join the English club despite a long-standing offer to extend his stay in the capital. An agreement has been reached on the terms of his future contract across the Channel. The 18-year-old central defender is set to sign a five-year deal with the Skyblues.”

“Manchester City have reached an agreement for the transfer of Hermann Malonga as a new center-back from PSG, here we go! The 2008-born talent has accepted all the terms proposed by MCFC and is joining City’s project from Paris Saint-Germain.”

Unfortunately, these are reliable sources regarding the departure of a PSG academy product. It is a path already taken by striker Mahamadou Sangaré (19) last summer, for a place with Manchester City’s U21 team for now. Nothing is certain for the future, but Malonga is heading down the same road for the time being. Perhaps it will pay off later on.

Choices are never easy in a career, and it is understandable that the competition at PSG could be worrying when it comes to playing regularly. Even if earning a place is no easier at Manchester City. We would have liked to see the academy product continue within the Parisian project. Perhaps the club also had other priorities. Not every young player can have a place.
