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

Famalicão may have come out on top against FC Porto in the race for a young PSG prospect. Everything suggests that the club from Famalicão is 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 Le Parisien. It is worth noting that the player will turn 18 on June 24, so he will have to wait until he comes of age to complete the transfer.

Mathis Jangéal came through the entire youth system at Paris Saint-Germain and progressed step by step 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 for the under-21s, where he registered one assist in three games. In addition, he was also given the opportunity to be called up by Luis Enrique for two matches with the first team.

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

Despite receiving a contract renewal offer from PSG, Mathis Jangéal is convinced that Famalicão represents the ideal step in his career. The Portuguese club has been strongly committed to developing 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 side 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 qualifying spot, which ultimately went to Braga.

Famalicão were not alone in the race for the prospect

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

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

The same French publication also reported that Braga were 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 ready to take in the Frenchman.
