Earlier in April, we relayed news from France that Brighton turned their attention towards Paris Saint-Germain’s teenager Moussa Sissako after failing in their efforts to convince Batista Mendy, Nantes’ 18-year-old defender, to join them.
Wednesday’s edition of L’Equipe has a story regarding the Ligue 1 winners’ change in policy in handling their young players, where they offer their academy graduates a better deal to continue at the club, instead of moving elsewhere.
In the report, there is a mention of the Seagulls’ interest in the 17-year-old defender and that the Premier League club were looking at the option of bringing the centre-back to England in the summer transfer window.
The French newspaper explains the details of the deal from which Sissako will earn close to €1m for a period of three years and that is what convinced him to stay at PSG.
