PSG has in its squad a player capable of beating the record of Neymar Jr., whom the capital club had recruited from Barça for €222 million.
Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé, Randal Kolo Muani: PSG has players of great value in its squad, both sporting and financial. But the one with the highest odds on the transfer market may not be a striker or the one you think. He is only 17 years old and has been hitting the screen since the start of the season. His name: Warren Zaire-Emery.
Valued at €50 million by Transfermarkt and at €60 million by CIES, the young midfielder, currently under contract until 2025 with the capital club, would actually cost much more if he were sold. “We all know, a ‘2006’ who plays, who is capable of being decisive in L1 or C1, that has enormous value”entrusted to The Team a former sporting director of a top 10 European club.
“Less than €100 million”, it’s dead !
“And we know with the emergence of the Saudi market and the crazy off-market sums paid by Chelsea for (Moises) Caicedo (€133 million) or (Enzo) Fernandez (€121 million) that that of Zaire-Emery could reach amounts incrediblehe adds. But it would not be a price that corresponds to its true value. » How high is it exactly?
Difficult to say because everything also depends on the buyer and the seller. But according to another market player, described as “influential”, “at less than €100 million, there is not the beginning of a discussion” for the one that Thierry Henry has already named captain of the France Espoirs team and that Didier Deschamps could summon to the Blues for the last gathering of the year.
“Paris, even at €200 million, will not sell it”
For the moment, “Paris is not a seller”, as confirmed by a recruiter from the English top 6. “ And if we assumed that it was, there would be such competition on a file like this with all the major European clubs that it could reach record amounts. » More than the €222 million paid by PSG to poach Neymar Jr. from Barça in 2017? Possible !
“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 sellersays the first speaker cited. Based on this principle, and while we know that Paris, even at €200 million, will not sell it, because beyond its sporting value, symbolically, it is impossible, Zaire-Emery has not no price. »
