Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Mathis Jangeal is set to join Portuguese side Famalicao in a permanent transfer, according to L’Équipe. The 17-year-old offensive midfielder, who began appearing for PSG’s first team last autumn, has been a key figure for the club’s youth teams, including the Under-19s and the Youth League this season. The move marks the end of his time with his formative club.
Interest from Famalicao was first reported in L’Équipe last week and will now be formalized with a long-term contract for the young player. Jangeal has reportedly visited facilities at other European clubs, but ultimately chose to continue his development in Portugal. The decision suggests a pathway to consistent first-team football was a priority for the player.
Famalicao finished fifth in the Portuguese Primeira Liga last season, demonstrating a competitive environment that could be conducive to the growth of young talents. The club previously signed Oumar Camara from PSG in the summer of 2025, and he enjoyed a successful season with Vitoria Guimaraes, making 30 league appearances and scoring five goals. This precedent may have influenced Jangeal’s decision, suggesting Famalicao can provide a platform for PSG academy graduates to flourish.
Jangeal’s departure represents a loss of potential for PSG’s youth system, but the move to Famalicao offers him the opportunity to gain regular playing time and further develop his skills in a professional setting. Should he replicate Camara’s success, the transfer could prove to be a beneficial step for both the player and the two clubs, potentially opening up further collaboration between PSG and Portuguese teams.
