Monaco Signs 17‑Year‑Old Aymen Assab from PSG

Top Youth Talent Joins Free Transfer

Monaco have secured the signature of French midfielder Aymen Assab, a 17‑year‑old who opted for a free transfer rather than extend a first‑team contract with Paris Saint‑Germain. The youth standout impressed in the UEFA Youth League last season and captured both the U19 league title and the Coupe Gambardella with PSG’s academy. His departure clears a spot in the PSG roster while giving Monaco a promising ball‑writer on a Bosman window.

First‑Team Integration Under New Management

Upon confirming the deal on Monday, Monaco revealed that Assab will immediately begin training with the club’s senior side. He will be evaluated by newly appointed manager Filipe Luis, whose own tenure at the Principality was also announced that day. The teenager is slated to join his first professional session with the squad on Wednesday, marking a rapid ascent from youth to senior ranks.

Contract Details Remain Unclear

Monaco have not disclosed the length of Assab’s agreement, leaving fans to speculate on how long the France U18 international will remain in the squad. The undisclosed term mirrors typical handling of youth contracts, where clubs often keep length confidential to protect negotiations. Regardless of the duration, the club is counting on his technical ability and high rating from his time in Paris.

What This Means for Monaco

Acquiring a highly rated PSG graduate on a free transfer offers Monaco a cost‑effective boost to their midfield depth. By integrating Assab into the first‑team setup under Filipe Luis, the club signals confidence in his development potential. If the young player can adapt quickly, he may become a key figure in Monaco’s push for domestic and European competition in the coming seasons.
