And six! Paris Saint-Germain announced their sixth summer signing on Wednesday. This is Cher Ndour, an 18-year-old Italian midfielder who was at the end of his contract at the Portuguese club Benfica. Powerful (1.90m) and comfortable with both feet, Ndour won the Youth League (the equivalent of the Champions League for young people) in 2022, even scoring a goal in the final against Salzburg (6- 0).
“I am very moved, commented Cher Ndour in a press release from PSG. It’s a mix of emotions but above all happiness because Paris Saint-Germain is one of the best clubs in the world with a lot of champions and for me, it’s an honor to be part of this new family. Ndour is committed until 2028 with the champion club of France.
Ndour has only one professional match, an anecdotal entry on March 18 with Benfica against Guimarães (5-1). Born in Brescia and passed through the training center of Atalanta Bergamo, Ndour had joined Benfica in 2020. He has 30 selections distributed among the youth teams of Italy (under 15 to under 20).
The midfielder is the sixth player to settle in the French capital this summer. Before him, Milan Skriniar, Lucas Hernandez, Manuel Ugarte, Kang-in Lee and Marco Asensio joined Paris. PSG returned to training this week under new coach Luis Enrique. The transfer window can be followed live on our site.
