Zayon Chtaï-Telamio is poised to leave Paris Saint-Germain for Guingamp, according to L’Équipe. The 19-year-old winger is one of several young players at PSG currently weighing up their futures after being offered, or not offered, professional contracts by the club. Chtaï-Telamio’s potential move comes at a crucial juncture for both player and club, as PSG navigate decisions regarding their academy prospects.
Chtaï-Telamio was a member of the PSG youth team that reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Youth League, showcasing his ability on a European stage. He is a quick and dynamic winger, attributes that have also drawn interest from Torreense, a club in Portugal. However, Guingamp, currently competing in Ligue 1, appears to be the frontrunner for his signature. The move would provide Chtaï-Telamio with a clear pathway to first-team football, something that may not be immediately available in a congested PSG squad.
The situation highlights a broader trend at PSG, where a number of players born between 2006 and 2008 are facing critical decisions about their careers. The club is evidently streamlining its youth setup, leading to opportunities for players elsewhere. Alongside Chtaï-Telamio, 17-year-old Mathis Jangeal is attracting attention from Portuguese clubs, including FC Porto and Braga, with Famalicao emerging as a potential destination.
Further interest from abroad continues for other PSG academy graduates. Elijah Ly, an 18-year-old winger, is reportedly on the radar of Club Brugge and Villarreal, while Club Brugge is also monitoring the progress of 18-year-old defender Samba Coulibaly. These developments suggest a potential exodus of young talent from the French capital as players seek regular playing time and opportunities to develop their careers. The departures could allow Guingamp to strengthen their attacking options with a promising young player, while PSG will look to reinvest in their remaining academy prospects.
Details regarding a transfer fee or contract length for Chtaï-Telamio have not yet been disclosed, but the move is expected to be a permanent transfer.
