Teenage defender Tylel Tati is being linked with a move from FC Nantes to Paris Saint-Germain, with the Ligue 1 champions understood to be monitoring the 17-year-old centre-back’s rapid rise.
Reports in France suggest PSG have added the left-footed defender to their list of long-term targets, although there is currently no clear indication of how advanced any talks might be, with the probability of a deal rated only as “?”. Tati is under contract at Nantes, but with no public information on the length of that agreement, observers have noted there is a scenario in which he could become a free agent in the future if no extension is agreed.
Tati’s market value has climbed sharply in recent months, reaching €12.00m in the latest assessment, up from €3m in August and €6m in October 2025. That surge is viewed as a reflection of his development since stepping up from Nantes’ youth ranks into the first-team set-up.
Born on 19 January 2008 in Champigny-sur-Marne, the 1.92m defender represents both France and Senegal at nationality level and is seen as one of the most promising young centre-backs in Ligue 1. A graduate of INF Clairefontaine, he joined FC Nantes U17s in 2023 before progressing to the U19s in 2024 and then into the senior Nantes squad ahead of the 2025-26 season.
Tati, who wears shirt number 78 for Nantes and is listed primarily as a centre-back, has so far spent his entire club career in France’s system, moving through the levels at Nantes after his time at Clairefontaine. His left foot, physique and versatility across the back line are believed to be attributes attracting interest from PSG as they plan for the next generation of defenders.
Should a transfer materialise, a switch from Nantes to PSG would mark a significant step in Tati’s career and could accelerate his development, reputation and international prospects at both French and Senegalese level.
