No surprise, but a simple confirmation of what we already knew for several days. Adil Aouchiche (17), the PSG and international U 17 player, formalized his departure from the capital's club on Friday evening. On Instagram, the midfielder posted this message: “A page is turning. Thank you Paris for all these unforgettable moments ”.
At the end of his aspiring contract on June 30, Aouchiche did not wish to initial his first professional contract with PSG.
Leonardo and the Parisian leaders however wanted to keep this promising element, semi-finalist of the last World Cup with the French team U17 and author of three appearances with the professional group this season.
Yet faced with Aouchiche's refusal to respond to their proposals, Parisian officials had understood for long weeks that the native of Blanc-Mesnil (Seine-Saint-Denis) had chosen to take another direction. It remains to be seen which one?
Speculation
As for his ex-partner Tanguy Kouassi who finally signed up with Bayern Munich for four seasons, the destination of Aouchiche is the subject of much speculation.
The most natural would be that he signed up for three seasons with Saint-Etienne (Ligue 1) whose facilities he visited in May after the deconfinement. A commitment he had made with Claude Puel, the Greens coach, a big fan of the player. In Saint-Etienne, Aouchiche could have guarantees in terms of playing time and could continue to progress. Some swear that he spent his medical visit this week in Forez after a vacation in Turkey.

But many gray areas still surround this dossier. It is not excluded that, like Kouassi, Aouchiche will surprise everyone by revealing the name of an unexpected club very soon.
