Transfer market – PSG want to pull a fast one on Marseille!

The 2026 summer transfer window is here, so rumors surrounding Paris Saint-Germain are piling up. This time, it is Foot Mercato claiming that PSG are pushing to secure the signing of Adam El Boughlamy, an 18-year-old Montpellier midfielder whose trainee contract is coming to an end, even though he had been reported as being very close to Olympique de Marseille.

“Paris Saint-Germain are trying to derail the deal”

“Yesterday, we revealed that Adam El Boughlamy was on the verge of signing for Olympique de Marseille. Captain and leader of Montpellier’s U19 midfield, the 18-year-old player is reaching the end of his contract and was expected to join the Phocaean club in the coming hours to sign a professional trainee contract. The two parties had reached an agreement in principle. But today, another club has entered the race. According to our information, Paris Saint-Germain are trying to derail the deal. The capital club would like to attract the player, who arrived at MHSC at the age of 9.”

Naturally, caution is still required—it’s the nature of the transfer window. Even here, the talented young midfielder had been announced as virtually signed by OM. PSG could turn the situation around and pull off a surprise signing. The Parisian club is always on the lookout for top talent and could be trying here to prepare for the future.

Still, we will wait before speaking in certainties. Everything can still move very quickly, especially with a first professional contract yet to be signed, since El Boughlamy is completely free in his choice. Nor can pressure from the agent be ruled out.
