Paris Saint-Germain refused the advances of Manchester City last summer, who were nevertheless ready to sign a big check for Warren Zaire-Emery.
Called up for the French team at just 17 years old, Warren Zaire-Emery is the new nugget of Paris Saint-Germain. A source of pride for the capital club, since the player comes from its training center.
At the start of the week, L’Equipe was interested in the market value of Zaire-Emery, which is already extremely high due to his talent, his precocity, and his trajectory, which make him valuable and symbolic for PSG . “ Today, determining the value of this type of profile is very complicated because it is not done here at the coffee machine but it is the market which will do it between a buyer and seller. Based on this principle, and while we know that Paris, even at 200 million euros, will not sell it, because beyond its sporting value, symbolically, it is impossible, Zaire-Emery is priceless”, explains to the national daily a former sports director of a top 10 European club before continuing.
We don’t know if PSG would refuse 200 million euros for their midfielder. But the capital club has already rejected the advances of Manchester City this summer. On France 5, in the show C à vous, Mohamed Bouhafsi revealed that PSG had refused “an offer of more than 60 million euros” from the English champions. And the start of the season for Zaire-Emery proved the Parisian leaders right.
