Paris Saint-Germain have secured the future of promising midfielder Adam Ayari, signing him to a new contract until 2029, the club confirmed. The 18-year-old, who has been with the PSG academy since 2014, will officially move into the first-team squad following a breakthrough season with the club’s youth sides.
Ayari distinguished himself last season with consistently strong performances for PSG’s U19 team. He played a key role in their Gambardella Cup triumph, contributing seven goals and three assists in six matches despite operating as an attacking midfielder. His form extended to the UEFA Youth League, where his five goals helped the team reach the semi-final stage.
The contract extension represents a significant vote of confidence in Ayari’s potential, placing him alongside other recent academy graduates to have signed professional terms with PSG, including Senny Mayulu, Warren Zaïre-Emery, and Ibrahim Mbaye. This demonstrates the club’s commitment to developing talent from within and integrating them into the first team.
Ayari’s progression comes at a time when PSG are looking to build a sustainable future around a core of young, dynamic players. The club has faced scrutiny in recent years for relying heavily on established stars, but this move signals a shift towards nurturing homegrown talent. The new deal will likely give Ayari opportunities to gain first-team experience, potentially in cup competitions or as a substitute in Ligue 1 matches. This development could see him feature in the squad for the second half of the season, providing additional depth in midfield.
