Paris officially announced the 6th signing! The 18-year-old supernova signed for 5 years, the third man without a visa, and won the Youth Champions League
On Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain announced the signing of 18-year-old Ndol through the club's official website on a five-year contract, with Ndor becoming the sixth signing signed to Paris in the summer window.
Brescia-born Ndol first joined Atalanta's youth academy before moving to Benfica in June 2020 and helping Benfica win the Champions League at Under-19 in 2021-22 and Benfica B in 2022-23, scoring four goals and providing one assist in 36 appearances in all competitions last season. On March 18, Ndol made his professional debut against Guimarães.
After his contract expired, Ndor refused to renew his contract with Benfica and immediately accepted an invitation from Paris. Gazzetta dello Sport revealed that Benfica's refusal to let Ndol play in the U20 World Cup was one of the reasons for his refusal to renew his contract. Ndol also said, "I regret that the World Cup is the World Cup. It wasn't my fault that I couldn't play, Benfica wouldn't let me go. ”
However, Ndol also believes that Benfica helped him a lot in his development: "When you leave home when you are only 16 years old, go to a new country, learn a new language, if you don't have a mind, then you get lost." In football, I've become more mature. As soon as I came to Benfica, I was in the Under-23 team and every player was older than me. At Benfica, I always train with the ball and rarely practice tactics, and I like that. ”
Despite being only 18 years old, Ndol is 1.90 meters tall, and his strong physical fitness has made him known as the "beast", which has attracted the attention of many clubs. After the season, Paris quickly reached an agreement with Ndor, who became a libero, and the two sides signed a five-year contract.
Ndore became the sixth signing in the Paris summer window and the third player to join on a free agent, following Asensio and Skriniar, Ugarte, Lee Gangren and Lucas Hernandez for transfer fees of 60 million euros, 22 million euros and 50 million euros respectively.
Paris has a budget of 200 million euros in the summer window, and after signing six players for 132 million euros, Paris also wants to sign two top attackers, targeting Bernardo Silva and Kane, making them a trident with Mbappe. If Kane can't be signed, then Paris' goal is to sign Osmayne or Gonzalo Ramos.
