Transfer news – Another PSG youngster leaving, Portugal and Germany keen | OneFootball

Rayan Abo El Nay, a 19-year-old midfielder for Paris Saint-Germain under a trainee contract until June 2027, is one of the players who showed promising qualities this season with the U19s, notably in the Youth League. Enough to occasionally train with the senior squad, but also to attract interest. According to L’Équipe, clubs in Portugal and Germany are monitoring his situation.

Nothing has been decided yet, but the sports daily is relatively reliable when it comes to PSG’s academy players, and a departure would not be a surprise. It would continue the exodus we have been seeing since the start of the summer. That is not illogical, given how difficult it is to break into a team that has just won the Champions League twice in a row in impressive fashion.

The level of expectation and competition leaves opportunities only for the very best, those ready to be patient and fight for their place. Not to mention being able to handle the pressure once involved with the senior squad and playing in matches of much higher intensity. So PSG cannot keep all of its young players. The academy is also there to bring in some money, especially thanks to clauses providing for a percentage of any future resale.

However, we would like to see a few more academy players stay in Paris in order to develop and try to establish themselves little by little. There may be a better plan to offer, possibly through a loan move. Even though we have already seen that this option, like leaving so early, offers absolutely no guarantee of a great career. No such guarantee exists. Let’s hope the Parisian staff can keep the most promising players motivated. Like Senny Mayulu and Warren Zaïre-Emery (a 20-year-old midfielder), who managed to earn their place.
