Confirmed

Paris Saint-Germain are continuing talks with Warren Zaire-Emery over a fresh contract amid interest from the Premier League, FootballTransfers can confirm.

The teenager and his camp are in discussions with the Ligue 1 champions but there still is some distance between them before any deal is concluded, we are told.

Over the summer transfer window, Manchester City were keen on the 17-year-old but no move materialised.

Zaire-Emery’s contract is up at the Parc des Princes in 2025 and PSG are hoping to secure him down to an extension that would fend off interest from interested parties.

During the summer transfer window, Manchester City were said to be interested in signing Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery.

PSG and Man City had discussed a swap deal for Bernardo Silva but both players remained at their respective clubs.

PSG had also offered Gianluigi Donnarumma and Marco Verratti in exchange for the Portuguese midfielder, but Man City had asked only for Zaire-Emery.

Pep Guardiola was just interested in him and ultimately decided he would rather not sell Silva to the French Outfit, knocking back a swap deal for either Italian.

The teenager has already made 41 appearances for PSG across two seasons, with two goals to his name so far.

He was recently called up to the France under-21s side, having won the UEFA European Under-17 Championship for his national side last year.

Will Zaire-Emery leave PSG?

Despite the links, the Frenchman spoke to Le Parisien about his future last year, saying how much PSG means to him. I am a kid from Ile-de-France, born in Montreuil, I have always loved PSG.

"After my departure from Aubervilliers, I always played for this club. I arrived there very young and went through all the boxes: the association, the pre-training, the center, now the pro group. I hope it will last. Spending my entire career in this jersey is a dream. I hope to accomplish it.”
