Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is strategically planning its summer transfer activities, with a keen focus on bolstering its midfield ranks for the upcoming season. Among their targets is Ayman Kari, a promising young midfielder currently on loan at Lorient, according to reports from L’Équipe.
Kari, aged 19, has emerged as a prime target for PSG as they aim to bring him back to the Parc des Princes from Lorient, where he has been honing his skills since January 2023.
Having joined PSG in 2017, Kari has progressed through the ranks of the club’s youth system, showcasing his talent alongside notable prospects like Xavi Simons, Edouard Michut, and Ismaël Gharbi during the Youth League campaign in 2021.
Despite initially serving as a backup option at Lorient, Kari’s fortunes changed dramatically at the turn of the year, as he cemented his place in the team’s midfield.
Since January 14, 2024, he has featured as a starter in nine consecutive matches, playing a pivotal role in Lorient’s resurgence in Ligue 1.
While Lorient holds a purchase option for Kari, PSG is keen to exercise their priority option to recall the midfielder to his training roots.
Despite interest from other European clubs, including Borussia Dortmund, PSG remains determined to secure Kari’s return to Paris.
However, the decision ultimately rests with the player himself, who may weigh the potential for greater playing time and development elsewhere against the opportunity to return to PSG.
Notably, PSG’s head coach, Luis Enrique, has given his seal of approval to Kari’s profile, indicating the club’s confidence in his abilities.
As PSG aims to reinforce its squad for the challenges ahead, the potential addition of Ayman Kari represents a strategic move to enhance midfield depth and secure promising talent for the future.
