Yoram Zagué (20 years old/Pafos)

Pure product of the Parisian team, Yoram Zagué has 11 appearances with the Ile-de-France residents for 1 goal. Launched by Luis Enrique during a match against Clermont on April 6, 2024, the right back had a complicated last season. Loaned to Denmark, he missed his time in Copenhagen (2 goals and 1 assist in 15 matches). His loan was canceled and he was sent to Eupen in Belgium (2 goals and 1 assist in 8 matches). A season marked by problems with the law for speeding. Loaned this summer to Pafos on the Cyprus side, he played 5 matches with his new colors. Starting in the first two championship matches, he then gave way to the Brazilian Bruno. At the moment, the two are in competition, but the player who played for Olympiakos and Sheriff Tiraspol leaves with a head start.

Renato Marin (19 years old/Nacional)

A year after arriving from AS Roma, Renato Marin was sent out on loan to gain experience. The young Italian-Brazilian goalkeeper only played 3 matches last season for 2 clean sheets and joined the Portuguese club Nacional. Within the Funchal club, Renato Marin played 7 matches and established himself as number one. However, his team’s start to the season was mixed with a fifteenth place finish and 15 goals conceded. Renato Marin only had one clean sheet but he also saved a penalty against Vitoria Guimarães. Rather solid despite the 2-0 defeat against Sporting CP, he will experience a lively season with a club which will fight to maintain its position.

Gabriel Moscardo (20 years old/Espanyol de Barcelona)

Arriving in winter 2024 like his compatriot Lucas Beraldo, Gabriel Moscardo did not wear the Paris Saint-Germain jersey. With a first failure in Reims (10 appearances) and another mixed one in Braga (39 matches played) where he showed ease as a central defender, the native of Taubaté this time joined Espanyol from Barcelona. And he has not yet forgotten PSG as he explained to Mundo Deportivo : “my dream is to play for PSG, but for now, I’m devoting myself 100% to Espanyol. I am convinced that I can play like I did at Corinthians, with joy and personality. I will have the opportunity to prove it every week. The beginnings were complicated since he started 2 matches on the bench. Starting twice in four appearances, he must be chomping at the bit for the moment. Within a Catalan team fifteenth in La Liga, the Brazilian is still unable to take off for the moment.

Kalil Ayari (21 years old/Dunkirk)

Arriving in the summer of 2025 from Stade Tunisien, Khalil Ayari never had the opportunity to play in the first team. Called up with Tunisia for the World Cup, he was sent to Dunkirk to improve his skills. A starter, he has won the last four matches and has seven appearances for 1 goal. With the eleventh in Ligue 2, he notably scored a nice goal against AS Saint-Étienne from outside the area. Well installed, he is showing encouraging things and will be an attraction for the club from the north of France.
