Paris Saint-Germain have officially confirmed that academy forward Adam Ayari has signed his first professional contract, tying the 18-year-old to the club through June 2029. The announcement, published on PSG’s official website, ends any uncertainty over Ayari’s short-term future after a breakout season in the club’s youth sides.
PSG say the deal rewards a 2025-26 campaign in which Ayari scored 19 goals and provided 12 assists in 35 appearances, helping the club’s under-19s retain both the Championnat National U19 and the Coupe Gambardella. “Signing my first professional contract with Paris Saint-Germain is an immense source of pride for me and my family,” Ayari said on the club’s official website, thanking the coaches and staff who “helped me tremendously” throughout his time in the academy.
