Man City set to pounce on free transfer move for PSG’s sensational young striker

Manchester City are ready to shake up Paris Saint-German with a free transfer move for sensational youth striker Mahamadou Sangare as they make plans to send him on loan to fellow City Football Group side Troyes.

Manchester City have made plans to snatch the PSG youth player this summer on a free transfer, with the player’s contract set to expire according to RMC Sport journalist Fabrice Hawkins.

The plan is to sign the 18-year-old and immediately loan him out to French second-division outfit Troyes, who are one of City’s sister clubs within the City Football Group.

While the deal is yet to be discussed, City Football Group may be inspired by Chelsea’s successful strategy of developing young talents at Strasbourg.

City could look to replicate this approach with Troyes, currently struggling in Ligue 2 and working to avoid relegation to France’s third division.

Sangare has attracted interest from several Bundesliga clubs, too, with a departure this summer not ruled out.

The French international is having a great season for PSG’s U19 side, scoring eight goals in six games in this season’s UEFA Youth League, and was rewarded with his maiden cap for the France U18s in November 2024.
