The period is definitely favorable for contract extensions on the PSG side: after completing that of coach Luis Enrique, the Parisian club is moving forward with those of Vitinha, Nuno Mendes and Achraf Hakimi. That of the Portuguese environment would even be very close.
While the latest results fell short of expectations (defeat at Arsenal, draws at Reims and Nice), PSG should continue to rely on the same foundation for the months and even years to come. Desired by the club for some time, the extension of coach Luis Enrique was completed in recent weeks and the Spaniard will commit until 2027. But on the player side, things are also progressing.
Hakimi and Vitinha should extend
In the middle of a summer where he shone with Morocco during the Olympic Games (bronze medal as captain), Achraf Judge had given his agreement in principle to extend his contract in Paris. The one who arrived in 2021 from Inter Milan and is linked with Paris until 2026 is still with the aim of an extension. This should be completed soon according to RMC, especially since “PSG would like to move quickly on this issue, considering it important for the club and within the locker room. »
Besides the Moroccan, another PSG executive is close to being extended and this is a player who arrived in the summer of 2022: Vitinha and PSG will continue together. While he is currently under contract until June 2027, the 23-year-old midfielder has agreed with the club to extend his contract and he is expected to sign a two-season contract extension, until 2029. Negotiations have been going on for months, which is usual for an extension, and the two parties will come to an agreement according to RMC since a “agreement is about to be reached”. In the eyes of PSG, he is a key player.
Nuno Mendes also in negotiations for an extension
A third important player is also in negotiations for an extension, namely Nuno Mendes. The 22-year-old Portuguese is under contract until 2026 only and PSG, as with Hakimi, would like the file to move quickly given that the left-back is logically coveted. The file is however less advanced than that of the other two but Paris would like to complete it by the end of the season.
In today’s edition, Le Parisien also discusses the subject of Nuno Mendes, a player whose offensive expression is today restricted by the Parisian gaming system for the benefit of general balance. This point must necessarily be considered in the negotiations between the two parties but the local newspaper nevertheless specifies that a contract extension in Paris “aroused the player’s support”. It now remains to materialize this long-term project.
