Ethan Mbappe in talks with PSG over signing first professional contract

Ethan Mbappe made his debut this season

According to reports from L’Equipe, Ethan Mbappe (Kylian Mbappe’s younger brother) is in talks with PSG over signing his first professional contract in football.

Mbappé made his debut for PSG during a 3-1 victory over FC Metz on 20th December. The midfielder replaced Manuel Ugarte in the 92nd minute in what was a special evening for the Mbappé family. His brother, Kylian Mbappé, netted a brace on his 25th birthday with the victory securing Les Parisiens’ top spot in Ligue 1 heading into the winter break.

Ethan Mbappé is not yet signed up to a pro contract, and his intern contract expires at the end of the season. Whilst his brother, whose contract also expires at the end of the season, could leave the Parc des Princes, Ethan is in talks to stay, as per a report from L’Équipe.

Kylian’s vague contract situation creates a strange context in negotiations over Ethan’s first professional deal, but the latter has displayed a strong attachment to his formative club and a desire to stay. Negotiations between PSG and Ethan Mbappé’s entourage are “open”. 

The younger Mbappe joined PSG’s youth academy from the Bondy system in 2017, around the same time Kylian joined the club on loan from Monaco for a season before making the move permanent in 2018. The teenager has been a key figure for the PSG Under-19s, having featured in all six of their UEFA Youth League group stage matches this season.

After making his senior debut in the Ligue 1 match, the youngster will hope it is the first of many appearances he makes for the French champions and alongside his elder brother for the rest of the season.
