Multiple clubs in Europe are reported to be keeping close tabs on the situation of the 17-year-old starlet, who has played in nine of PSG's 10 Ligue 1 games this season.

It is said that both manager Luis Enrique and sporting director Luis Campos want to prioritise beginning negotiations with Zaire-Emery over a new contract in the coming weeks, with his current deal set to enter its final 18 months in January. The teenager made his professional debut for PSG in August 2022, becoming the club's youngest-ever player, and has since been handed an increased role this season, shining in Luis Enrique's new-look setup in the French capital.

Zaire-Emery was linked with Premier League side Manchester City last month, but the latest indicates that PSG are hopeful that rival clubs will end their interest in him if they reach an agreement over an extension.
