Bundesliga club targets PSG’s 17‑year‑old Boly as Paris seek contract

Seventeen‑year‑old right‑back David Boly has broken into the Paris Saint‑Germain first team and is attracting attention, while the club pushes for him to sign his first professional contract and a Bundesliga side shows keen interest.

Boly has been hailed as the pleasant surprise of recent days at PSG. He made his Ligue 1 debut against Le Havre on 31 October in a 5‑1 victory and then featured in the Champions League against Villarreal on Tuesday, a 6‑0 win. In that Champions League debut he scored his first professional goal.

PSG have offered him a first professional contract with a very high financial proposal, according to L’Équipe’s communication (Com).

The club hopes he will become the backup for Achraf Hakimi at right‑back, and Boly himself wants to continue his career at his parent club.

Negotiations are progressing positively, but competition remains.

Bundesliga club makes Boly a priority

Eintracht Frankfurt have identified Boly as their main target for the January transfer window. According to Florian Plettenberg, the Bundesliga club has made him a priority for the month.

Several other European clubs have also requested information on Boly, attracted by his performance and potential and noting his contract expires at the season’s end.

PSG will need to be convincing to retain him, as rivals could match the offer or even propose a starting role.

Recent fixtures and next challenge

Boly did not feature from the bench in PSG’s 1‑0 Ligue 1 win over Troyes last Saturday, a match decided by Illya Zabarnyi’s goal. With Hakimi unavailable, Warren Zaïre‑Emery filled the right‑back position in that game. After the FIFA international break, PSG travel to Nice away on the 21st.
