Mayulu signs until 2031 as Neves lights up Portugal's World Cup opener

Senny Mayulu signs until 2031

The deal is done. Senny Mayulu has agreed a new contract with PSG running through 2031 (1). Chelsea and Bayern Munich were both circling, but your club moved first and locked down one of the academy's most versatile midfielders. Long-term. He stays.

João Neves scores his first Portugal goal at a World Cup

A goal six minutes in. João Neves struck early for Portugal against DR Congo on Wednesday, the first goal of their World Cup campaign (4) (9). He is 21 years old, and he is now the third-youngest Portuguese player ever to score at a World Cup (9). PSG team-mates Vitinha, Nuno Mendes, Gonçalo Ramos, and Désiré Doué also featured in the match (4).

Rashford could be available if Barcelona pass

Barcelona hold a buy option on Marcus Rashford, but if they decide not to trigger it, PSG are watching closely (3). With Bradley Barcola already in the squad, adding Rashford would give Luis Enrique serious options across the front line. Nothing is decided yet, but the door is open.

Summerville on the radar, not everyone is convinced

PSG are interested in West Ham winger Crysencio Summerville (2) (6). Dutch analysts, however, are warning against the move. "Heeft echt totaal geen zin," one report put it bluntly, meaning a transfer here makes no sense at all (6). Your club appears to be in the scouting phase, not the closing phase.

Five academy talents heading for the exit

Martin James, Emmanuel Mbemba, Samba Coulibaly, Hermann Malonga, and Mathis Jeangeal are all leaving this summer (5). That is a lot of young talent walking out the door. PSG's stance: unfazed. The academy pipeline keeps producing, and the club remains firm in its approach.

Pacho faces his old mentor in the season opener

August 16. Trophée des Champions. Willian Pacho will line up against RC Lens and their coach Dino Toppmöller, the same man who developed him at Eintracht Frankfurt (8). A reunion with weight.

The Emir trolled Macron

PSG's owner, Emir Tamim ben Hamad Al-Thani, could not resist. In a recent meeting with Emmanuel Macron, he reportedly teased the French president about your club's back-to-back Champions League titles (7). Double European champions, and the man in charge is making sure everyone remembers it.

Fan-reaktioner

2.3k votes and counting in the PSG subreddit. João Neves was named Superior Player of the Match for Portugal's opener, and fans are not surprised. Meanwhile, a lively debate has erupted over Vitinha's performance, with some rival fans calling him a "system player" while PSG supporters point to his quality long before Neves arrived. The Neves thread is here.
