While the PSG is strongly singled out for its management with its young talents, Yohan Cabaye wanted to clarify the policy of the Parisian club towards its nuggets.

It is always difficult for young people to find a place in the biggest clubs in the world, and this is particularly true at Paris Saint-Germain. Indeed, the club of the capital has a training center which is full of nuggets, from Xavi Simons to Edouard Michut through Ismael Gharbi , Moutanabi Bodiang , or of Warren Zaire-Emery , author of an excellent entry into the game at the age of 15 against Club Brugge during the last match of Youth League – Parisian victory 3-2 at the end of the end to finish at the head of the group. But now, the problem with PSG is that they cannot give them a place in their first team squad. This has led many young people to make the decision to leave, like Tanguy Kouassi or Adil Aouchiche a year and a half ago. . Young people are thus frequently attracted to clubs which promise them more playing time. And this could happen again at the end of the season as Xavi Simons is at the end of his contract on June 30 and that he is slowing things down for his extension as there is no clear project for him in Paris, something which conditions his possible signing as Fabrizio Romano has indicated.

The mid-18, brilliant with the U19s, is not an isolated case. After signing until 2025 this summer, Edouard Michut He is also in full reflection on his future within his training club, a departure this winter not to be ruled out if we are to believe the information recently unveiled by Le Parisien. As for Ismael Gharbi , also very successful with the young people, the whole stake is to make him sign his first professional contract before the end of the season, otherwise he will run freely within the club of his choice next summer. In short, once again, an exodus of the nuggets of PSG is not to be ruled out next summer, something which has the gift of annoying many observers as the young Parisian generation is talented and that it asks nothing more than to have a chance to show its qualities, and all the more so in a context where the workforce of PSG has many undesirables, little used by Mauricio Pochettino , but despite everything summoned to the groups for the matches.

“Xavi Simons and Edouard Michut, I congratulate them on their investment”

Technical director of the PSG training center since this summer, Yohan Cabaye was therefore logically questioned about these concerns, in particular those of Xavi Simons and by Edouard Michut . And the least we can say is that the former midfielder kicked in before opening the door to youth loan scenarios. “Why don't they have playing time with the first team? It’s not for me to say. I would simply highlight their exemplary behavior when they are on the pitch. I congratulate them on their investment. (…) If a loan is a solution. See Dina Ebimbe. He's been on loan for two consecutive seasons, he's progressed well, he's had some playing time, now he's coming back and being in the squad all the time. At the time, Rabiot had left for Toulouse for six months before returning, that may be a solution, “he said in the columns of Le Parisien. Note, however, that Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe already wants to leave this winter as he feels he is lacking playing time in Paris . According to THE TEAM, the scenario of a new loan is likely for the middle of 21 years.

Moreover, Yohan Cabaye took advantage of his passage in the columns of the Parisian for return to the massive exodus of young people suffered by PSG , but above all to specify the intentions of the Ile-de-France team in terms of training. “I wasn't there before, I don't know all the ins and outs. Today our focus is on player progression. This is the heart of the project. If we can make them grow at home … We will not prevent foreign clubs from coming to check what we are doing here, because the reputation of the PSG training center is very good, and our objective is to be the one of the best training centers in the world. (…) The players, and this is the most important for me, are progressing well. I'm not saying results aren't important, but there is winning when it's far-fetched and winning with progress. The priority is the progress of the player, so that he can take the steps and grow, “he said. It remains to be seen whether growing up can also be achieved within the first team for these players who, once again, only ask for the opportunity to show their qualities already widely seen with the youth teams.
