Liverpool and Manchester City are keen on 17-year-old French wonderkid Warren Zaire-Emery, but PSG have the upper hand in negotiations.
According to Fichajes, Liverpool and Manchester City are keen on Paris Saint-Germain youngster Warren Zaire-Emery. The 17-year-old French wonderkid has turned heads with some mature performances for the Ligue 1 club, thus attracting the interest of the Premier League duo.
Warren Zaire-Emery turned heads with some accomplished performances for Paris Saint-Germain in his breakthrough season. The 17-year-old French wunderkind became the youngest player ever to start a Champions League knockout game this season when he faced Bayern Munich in February.
It was brave for the player, who was only 16 years and 343 days old at that time, to face up to some of the formidable names in that Bayern side. While PSG lost the clash, the 17-year-old French wonderkid did make a mark on the international stage.
Christoph Galtier put his trust in the 17-year-old on more than one occasion. Zaire-Emery made 26 appearances for PSG, scoring twice. The exciting youngster is a versatile star in the making, capable of playing in numerous positions, including both wings.
His rise to prominence has attracted many clubs to consider a move. Most notably, Liverpool and Manchester City are among those chasing him, with the Premier League giants likely to make a concerted effort to sign him this summer.
Liverpool are on the verge of losing Fabio Carvalho after the youngster was unsatisfied with his progress. Jurgen Klopp will see the space vacated by the Portuguese star to add another exciting player to his ranks for the upcoming season.
Hence, Liverpool are interested in Zaire-Emery ahead of the summer. They must make a concrete proposal to tempt PSG. But the French giants are not overly excited to let the 17-year-old French wonderkid leave at this stage.
Hence, it will take a massive offer to tempt the Ligue 1 giants, something Manchester City are willing to do. The Premier League champions are keen on Zaire-Emery and view him as a star of the future. Hence, they are willing to take a good offer to Paris and tempt the player into moving.
Manchester City may have the upper hand if PSG comes in with a concrete interest in Bernardo Silva. Recent reports claimed they could demand Zaire-Emery as part of a deal for the Portuguese attacker but will have to wait to find out if they are accurate enough to be considered.
In such a scenario, PSG might consider letting Zaire-Emery leave. But at this stage, the French giants hold all the cards regarding his future. If the 17-year-old does stay in Paris, Les Parisiens will likely offer him a new deal rather than allow his contract to enter the final year.
