PSG struggling to secure future of Franco-Congolese youngster Senny Mayulu amid wage dispute

Paris Saint-Germain are racing against time to secure the future of one of their brightest academy talents, Senny Mayulu, but contract negotiations have reportedly hit a standstill, according to French media outlets.

The 19-year-old winger, who has DR Congo roots burst onto the scene last season, making a decisive impact by scoring in PSG’s UEFA Champions League final triumph over Inter Milan. Since then, Mayulu has been a key contributor for the reigning European champions, featuring in 28 matches across all competitions this season and registering nine goal involvements, including four goals and five assists.

PSG are keen to tie Mayulu down long-term, aiming to extend his current contract, which runs until 2027, until 2030, according to RMC Sport. The club sees him as a cornerstone of their future, and the 19-year-old has indicated a desire to continue at the club where he was developed, despite interest from other top European sides.

However, reports from ICI Paris Ile-de-France suggest a significant obstacle: Mayulu’s wage demands do not align with PSG’s self-imposed salary structure at the Parc des Princes. Negotiations have therefore reached a “dead end” for the time being, leaving the club in a delicate position as they attempt to retain one of their most promising talents while adhering to internal salary policies.

The standoff highlights the delicate balancing act facing PSG: retaining homegrown stars who have already proven themselves on the biggest stage, while managing financial sustainability under strict wage structures. For Mayulu, the next few months could determine whether he continues to flourish at the club that nurtured him or tests his talents elsewhere in Europe.

The saga is likely to dominate headlines in Paris in the coming weeks as both player and club navigate a high-stakes negotiation over one of Ligue 1’s most exciting young prospects.
