PSG secure first refusal on Braga midfielder Mario Dorgeles

Paris Saint-Germain have paid SC Braga 3.3m euros for priority rights over Ivory Coast midfielder Mario Dorgeles, according to A Bola.

The agreement gives the French club first choice if Braga decide to sell the 22-year-old, who is regarded as one of the Portuguese side’s leading talents.

It covers all of Dorgeles’ economic and sporting rights. PSG have not completed a permanent transfer for the player, but will have priority over any potential deal involving him under the new arrangement.

Dorgeles played 39 matches for Braga last season, scoring seven goals and providing four assists. He joined the club from FC Nordsjaelland in the summer of 2025 for 11.5m euros.

The latest agreement further underlines the close relationship between PSG and Braga. Qatar Sports Investments, the owner of Paris Saint-Germain, holds a 29.6% stake in the company behind Braga, making it the club’s second-largest shareholder.

Braga themselves remain the largest shareholder, with a 36.99% holding.
