Spanish giants FC Barcelona are preparing to challenge French champions Paris Saint-Germain for the signature of teenage defender David Boly. The 17-year-old right-back has caught the attention of the Catalan club after breaking into the PSG senior side this campaign.
According to French publication Le Parisien, the young defender is one of the most exciting prospects in his position across Europe. He has become a key figure for the Under-19 squad and helped them reach the last four of the UEFA Youth League. The youngster also stands on the brink of lifting the Coupe Gambardella trophy as PSG prepare to face Montpellier HSC in the final.
Boly currently holds a youth contract with the Parisians that expires in 2027. The Ligue 1 leaders view him as a crucial part of their future plans and hope he will commit his long-term future to the Parc des Princes. However, Barcelona have emerged as serious contenders to lure him away from the French capital.
Any club wishing to secure Boly’s services must first strike a deal with PSG’s hierarchy. Such negotiations promise to be extremely challenging given the player’s high potential and existing contractual terms.
