FC Porto are in advanced negotiations to sign Mathis Jangéal from Paris Saint-Germain, according to L’Équipe. The 17-year-old midfielder has been a key figure for PSG’s youth sides, captaining the team to victory in the Coupe Gambardella and reaching the semi-finals of the UEFA Youth League this season. Jangéal’s current aspirant contract with PSG is set to expire on June 30th, making him available on a free transfer.
Porto have presented a project to the young player, outlining their vision for his development within the club. Braga, another Portuguese side, has also expressed interest in securing Jangéal’s signature. However, Porto appear to be leading the race at this stage, offering a clear pathway to first-team football.
Jangéal has also attracted attention from clubs in Germany, with Hamburg and Stuttgart both registering their interest. Paris Saint-Germain have offered the player a professional contract in an attempt to retain him, but Jangéal is seemingly weighing up his options. Representatives close to the player have recently indicated that no final decision has yet been made regarding his future.
This move would represent a significant opportunity for Jangéal to gain regular playing time in a competitive European league. Porto have a strong track record of developing young talent, and Jangéal could benefit from the club’s established infrastructure and coaching staff. Should he complete the transfer, it would add further depth to Porto’s midfield options as they look to continue their dominance in Portuguese football and compete in European competitions.
