PSG has learned from its mistakes and is now taking care to lock in its young talents
Succeeding at PSG when you leave your training center is a challenge. In recent years, given the limited interest in their development, many titis have chosen to flourish far from the capital, most often abroad. The situation may be changing.
With the impressive advent of a crack player like Warren Zaire-Emery – invited to the first team at the age of 15 and credited with his first professional contract at 16 years and four months – Paris has learned to trust to its young shoots. Certainly a little less precocious but still full of promise, Senny Mayulu and Ethan Mbappé should follow the same path.
An extended goalkeeper and midfielder
Beyond these players already well known for having appeared in Ligue 1 or the Coupe de France, two nuggets from PSG have just come back by signing a trainee contract until 2026, reports Le Parisien this Sunday. This is the case of goalkeeper Bilal Laurendon, 18 years old and new Moroccan U20 international, who was already part of the pro group called by Luis Enrique last December. This is also the case for midfielder Yanis Khafi, 17 years old and captain of the U17s last season.
