Zaire-Emery, the funny situation

As he prepares to take his first steps with the French team, Warren Zaire Emery has been forced to present an authorization to leave the country.

At 17, everything is going very quickly for Warren Zaire-Emery. Installed in the starting eleven of PSG by Luis Enrique at the start of the season, the young Parisian discovered the French team since Monday. Expected to make his first selection on Saturday, for the reception of Gibraltar, the native of Yvelines should continue on Tuesday in Greece.

The trip to Athens also forced the Blues staff to ask the PSG player for parental authorization to leave the territory allowing him to travel abroad. The law of June 3, 2016 relating to the fight against terrorism has in fact provided since January 15, 2017, and the entry into force of an implementing decree, that any minor living in France wishing to leave French territory “unaccompanied by at least one of his parents”, cannot do so without obtaining authorization from his parents.

The Parisian midfielder is used to this kind of formality whenever he plays a Champions League match with PSG. He will no longer need this authorization to leave the country from March 8, the day he turns 18.
