Paris Saint-Germain has recently shifted towards integrating young talents into the first team in recent years. While some have had to leave to launch their careers elsewhere, others have been given the chance to shine in the capital from a young age. Here’s a look at five players who made their professional debuts at PSG as teenagers.

1. Kingsley Coman (2013, 16 years old)

One of the brightest talents to emerge from PSG’s academy, Kingsley Coman made his Ligue 1 debut at just 16 years and 8 months, becoming the youngest player to appear for the club in the league. Despite limited game time, he showed great promise before moving to Juventus and later Bayern Munich, where he became a key player.

2. Adrien Rabiot (2012, 17 years old)

Discovered by Carlo Ancelotti, Adrien Rabiot made his professional debut in 2012 at the age of 17. The midfielder was quickly loaned to Toulouse before returning to establish himself at PSG. He won multiple titles with the club before joining Juventus in 2019.

3. Warren Zaïre-Emery (2022, 16 years old)

A symbol of PSG’s evolving youth policy, Warren Zaïre-Emery broke through under Christophe Galtier in 2022. A complete and mature midfielder for his age, he has grown in responsibility and established himself as a key figure in PSG’s midfield.

4. Senny Mayulu (2024, 18 years old)

This season, Senny Mayulu has earned the trust of Luis Enrique and secured a spot in PSG’s rotation. With 20 appearances and 3 goals to his name, the young midfielder has impressed with his maturity and influence on the game.
