With Luis Campos, Paris Saint-Germain has a transfer window specialist. But Olympique de Marseille can boast of having in its ranks Pablo Longoria, a president whose areas of favorite is. He is now supported by Medhi Benatia, who also has a few moves to his credit. And if the Phocaeans do not have the same financial means as the champions of France, they have some arguments to convince their targets. You will have to have them to get ahead of PSG since the two clubs have a weakness for the same player. Indeed, ESPN Brazil And Spear! reveal that the Olympians and Parisians are seduced by the profile of the young and promising Ryan Francisco.
A name that may not tell you anything. Aged 18, this striker bears the colors of São Paulo before that, the footballer born in 2006 started in Palmeiras, before joining Ska Brasil. In 2022, it was spotted by the SPFC. He thus joined the youth teams of the Auriverde club, he who was regularly upgraded before taking his first steps with the pros in 2024. On December 8, he also played his first match with team A against Botafogo. He had come into play for 4 minutes. This year 2025, he has already taken part in 14 games in all competitions, including 6 with the pro group. Time to score 1 goal. With the young people of São Paulo, it is 10 goals and 1 assist in 8 appearances.
It was observed by several French clubs
Enough to attract attention and looks of a few stables from the old continent, charmed by its finisher qualities. Spear! And Espn assure that representatives of OM, PSG, but also of Montpellier were present in the stands to observe it against Cruzeiro on Sunday in the Brazilian championship (13 minutes of play). They were accompanied in lodges by the agent of the 18 -year -old player. Which leaves little doubts about the reason for their presence. But to enlist the Brazilian international U17 (1 cape), it will be necessary to be convincing. In February, his agent, the former player Fabiano, said: “What we clearly say is that our staff works with their feet on the ground. Nothing official has arrived in São Paulo. “
He had specified: “There have been many requests because the market knows that there is a player who scores a lot of goals. We transmit everything that happens to São Paulo. I think Ryan Francisco would have his place in England and Spain. He is a player who scores goals, a real strength, with quality and technique. Ryan wants to play in the professional team of São Paulo longer. ” But if the pretenders put the price, there is no doubt that São Paulo will open the door for his player under contract until June 2028. According to the specialized site TransferMarkt, its market value is now estimated at € 4 million. But we imagine that the Brazilian stable will be a little more greedy to let go of its new jewel.
