Mayulu’s senior France call‑up marks breakthrough for PSG starlet
Latest PSG news finds Senny Mayulu receiving a phone call that will see him join the senior France squad, a moment that underscores his rapid rise.
The international break is underway, and as expected there is plenty of PSG chatter.
A big moment has arrived for the youngster, who has been gaining importance for his club this season.
He has just earned his maiden call up to Zinedine Zidane’s senior France squad to replace the injured Aurelien Tchouameni.
Mayulu’s rise at PSG
Mayulu has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of PSG’s summer transfer activity.
The squad changes and subsequent injuries have placed him in a regular role in Luis Enrique’s B team.
Zidane’s puzzling right‑back pick leaves PSG star in limbo
He has started once in the Champions League and appeared twice as a substitute, while in Ligue 1 he has recorded two starts and two substitute appearances.
After returning from an injury sustained with the French Under‑21s in the last break, he started the final three games in a row for PSG.
He has been deployed both as a forward and as a midfielder, leaving his future position in Zidane’s plans open to speculation.
Another decision that has puzzled observers is Zidane’s reluctance to commit Warren Zaire Emery as his definitive right back.
PSG attacker Mika Godts has been likened to Lionel Messi, though pundits agree he still has much work to do.
Zinedine Zidane has even compared rising star Desire Doué to himself, a rare compliment from the France legend.
