What if Neal Maupay landed in Paris? Lacking playing time in Marseille, where he only played 90 minutes in three matches, including two in the Coupe de France (1 goal), the 29-year-old striker has just joined the long list of number 9s targeted by the Parisian club. After thinking about Mathys Tel, Ludovic Ajorque or even Edin Dzeko, Paris FC is looking at the former Everton scorer. Information revealed by Foot Mercato, which we can confirm.
While he had ruled out this possibility at the start of the transfer window, Paris FC would have finally decided to initiate more serious discussions with OM, where he is under contract until 2028. Some sources close to the Olympian club mention an agreement already reached between the two teams. In Paris, the file is managed at the highest level of the club.
The player has already refused two offers in Italy and Spain
It now remains to be known the intentions of the player, who has already postponed several projects in recent weeks, including those of Sassuolo and Sevilla FC. If he were to accept, Neal Maupay would have a good chance of becoming a Paris FC player this winter.
Among the other attackers well placed in the Parisian short list, Edin Dzeko would hold a contractual agreement with Schalke 04, according to several German media. Brest sporting director Grégory Lorenzi also recognized an approach from Paris FC for Ludovic Ajorque, but he declared, in the columns of Le Télégramme, that “no major player will leave”.
