PSG could secure the services of an Italian U20 international in the coming days. The midfielder concerned played this season at Benfica.

Luis Campos is wasting no time when it comes to the transfer window. The Parisian leader, although he has not yet found his new coach, is active in recruitment. According to information reported by journalist Fabrizio Romano, confirmed by RMC Sportsthe Portuguese is interested in an Italian U20 international (7 caps, 1 goal) at the end of his contract with Benfica Lisbon.

This is Cher Ndour, a midfielder who came through the ranks of Atalanta’s youth teams before joining Portugal in 2020. At 18, the player is particularly precocious, having played 36 games, all competitions combined this season. The Brescia native also scored 4 goals and delivered 1 assist.

One of the most promising Italian players

Solid and slender (1m90, 84 kg), Ndour crossed paths with PSG in the Youth League. He is considered one of the most promising players in Italian football and is attracting a lot of interest. PSG, however, seem to have taken the advantage over their competitors in the race for his signature.

Note that the Parisian club is also targeting Marco Asensio (Real Madrid, also out of contract), Bernardo Silva (Manchester City) and Lee Kang-In (Real Mallorca). Regarding departures, the transfer window also promises to be agitated. After signing Lionel Messi from Inter Miami, Neymar would be pushed out. The Brazilian is said to have some Premier League touches. But the big thunderclap could concern Kylian Mbappé.

The controversies have been heated in recent hours after the press revealed that the player did not want to exercise the option for an additional season included in his contract. The Parisian understands that the native of Bondy wishes to take advantage of the departure of Karim Benzema to join Real Madrid.
