Transfer news – Promising PSG youngster joins neighbours Paris FC

Paris Saint-Germain is preparing to lose Emmanuel Mbemba, an 18-year-old center-back or left-back developed at the club. According to L’Équipe, the young player, who won the Coupe Gambardella against Montpellier (3-2) on May 22, will ultimately join Paris FC rather than AS Monaco.

Mbemba leaves PSG but stays in the capital

“Considered one of the strongest prospects in PSG’s academy, with whom he notably won the Coupe Gambardella on May 22 against Montpellier (3-2), Emmanuel Mbemba will not sign his first professional contract with the Rouge et Bleu. For a time expected to join Monaco, the 18-year-old center-back or left-back will ultimately head to Paris FC.”

Paris Saint-Germain is thus seeing another key member of its 2008 generation leave. The destination is surprising, since Mbemba is ultimately joining neither a major foreign club nor AS Monaco, long said to be in a strong position, but the other Parisian club instead.

Paris FC can offer him a quicker path to professional football, while also allowing him to continue his development in a familiar environment. For PSG, this departure above all confirms its difficulties in keeping several of its most promising young players when it comes to helping them take the final step toward the first team.
