We have promised Michut that he can be in the first team in 2 years time. A first team that will have lot of academy players playing an important role. I do not think the same can be promised to him at PSG.
It took Pep 4 years to get to this point. We have lost many talented players along the way.
we are about to lose a 16 year old Manchester born Striker. We rated him incredibly highly. But he is joining RB Leipzig for free.
as long as clubs do not treat their prised Academy players like a "new signing" many will continue to leave.
If Kouassi had been giving consistent game time as a starter this season(let's say for a good part of the season) and made to feel that he indeed can replace Thiago, I'm sure he would've felt confident to sign.
But how can Kouassi feel Confident that PSG trust him to replace Thiago Silva, If he barely Played?
as I said This takes times to achieve...
Truly now after 4 years at the club, will Pep start treating the elite Academy kids like new signings...
They finally have a concrete pathway beyond "Be patient & wait for your time." PSG is not there yet & cannot give up challenging for trophies to make that happen.
We should have promised the 16 yr old strikes, he was first team in two years, like michut, job done.
