Champions League: Diakhaby, the hidden "transfer" between PSG and Liverpool
A key coach at PSG, Bafodé Diakhaby, has chosen Liverpool, marking a turning point for the Parisian youth academy. In this flash, discover the stakes behind this decision that could change the club's future — if this caught you, a thumbs up helps us a lot.
At just 23 years old at PSG, Bafodé Diakhaby made the tough choice to leave his beloved club for Liverpool in January, where he takes on a hybrid role with the U12 to U16 teams. This departure has sparked intense discussions within Paris Saint-Germain as the management reassesses its scouting and training methods. Internal tensions are palpable, especially with the sidelining of Pierre Reynaud, a historic figure in recruitment.
Despite his attachment to PSG, Diakhaby felt at odds with the new directives from Yohan Cabaye, the academy director. This change comes amidst a restructuring for PSG, which is looking to revitalize its academy with movements planned for this summer, including the U17 coaching position offered to Matthieu Ballon. Diakhaby's departure could therefore have significant repercussions for the club's future.
