Official – PSG tie down five youngsters and sign four new arrivals

Just a few weeks before the start of the new season, Paris Saint-Germain has officially confirmed nine signings within its Academy. In a statement published on the club’s official website, PSG announced five contract extensions and four arrivals aimed at strengthening the U19 and Espoirs squads.

Five current players extend their stay at PSG

“Djamy Olax, 19, a defender, has signed a one-season trainee contract and will continue with the Espoirs squad.” “Charles Bouygue, 18, a defender, has committed for two seasons after helping win the French U19 championship title.” “Bryan Francillionne, 19, a goalkeeper, has extended for one season and will play with the Espoirs squad.” “Younes Idder, 18, a midfielder, has signed for two seasons after winning the National U19 Championship and the Coupe Gambardella.” “Nahil Kanté, 17, a midfielder, has also committed for two seasons and will remain with the U19 squad.”

PSG has therefore secured several players already well established in its development pathway. Younes Idder and Nahil Kanté are notably among the players who took part in the two titles won last season. Charles Bouygue, who arrived only in 2025, has also been rewarded after a successful first year with the U19s.

Four new signings join the U19 and Espoirs squads

“Noah Adnane, 17, a forward from Montrouge, joins the U19 squad under a one-year agreement.” “Léo Gnahore, 17, a defender who arrived from Versailles, has signed a three-season trainee contract and will join the U19s.” “Hermi Mfutila, 17, a defender trained at Stade de Reims, has committed for two seasons and will join the Espoirs squad.” “Emmanuel Nzala, 18, a defender who previously played for FC Lorient and FC Mantois, joins the Espoirs squad for one season.”

With three additional defenders and one forward, Paris Saint-Germain is primarily strengthening its defensive foundations. Léo Gnahore has been given the longest contract, at three seasons, while Noah Adnane is the only attacking signing in this wave. These moves allow the club to round out its squads before the youth competitions resume.
