PSG eyes another Lens youngster as Ganiou interest fades

After PSG’s pursuit of Ismaëlo Ganiou cooled, the French giants have turned their attention to another RC Lens prospect, centre‑back Kyllian Antonio, hoping to polish a talent for the Sang et Or. The RC Lens Mercato could see several of its young players attract interest from major European clubs.

PSG and English clubs monitor Antonio

The name of Kyllian Antonio is now circulating with the same intensity as Ismaëlo Ganiou on the transfer market. According to Ekrem Konur, PSG are monitoring the Lensois defender. Chelsea and Aston Villa are also reported to be keeping a close eye on his development.

For Paris, the interest fits a broader plan to renew the centre‑back line. The club aims to anticipate upcoming seasons by identifying young profiles that can progress alongside established players. At only 18 years old, Antonio still possesses a large margin of progression.

Lens cautions amid growing exposure

Although considered a promising talent, his performances this season have shown a lack of regularity. Les Sang et Or are navigating a delicate period, with collective difficulties highlighting individual fragilities. Antonio must still improve consistency and mastery to cement a place at the highest level.

The rumor therefore warrants caution. Interest from major clubs does not necessarily mean a transfer is close nor that PSG are preparing a concrete offer. The English competition could nonetheless add weight to the dossier. Chelsea and Aston Villa are also on the lookout, according to the information relayed by KONUR.

For RC Lens, attention from several prestigious clubs confirms the growing exposure of its young talents. However, the Parisian side has no reason to rush a departure while the player continues his development in Artois.

After Ismaëlo Ganiou, Antonio could become the next name to watch in upcoming transfer windows. PSG would keep an eye on him, but the dossier remains at an exploratory stage. For the young Lensois, the priority remains to progress and gain regularity with the Sang et Or.
