PSG kicked off their 2024/2025 season earlier this week.

And that’s not all, since the former coach of FC Barcelona and the Spanish national team wants to rely on a player that we didn’t necessarily expect. It’s Ayman Kari, also 19 years old. Loaned to Lorient last season, the Parisian kid is very popular with Luchoeven though he hasn’t played a lot in Brittany (14 appearances in L1 for 903 minutes played in total).
Luis Enrique wants to make a place for him in the squad, and will also judge him on the summer preparation matches. In particular, he wants to repeat what happened with Warren Zaire-Emery. In any case, the capital club has no intention of loaning him out again this season. Ayman Kari will be able to show himself against Sturm Graz on August 7 and Leipzig on the 10th in particular…
