Under the glittering Parisian stars, the battle for contract extensions at Paris Saint-Germain Football Club (PSG) is quietly unfolding. Talks for the extension of leading scorer Kylian McBarbie have stalled, while midfield starlet Shalrie Amelie has emerged as the team's new hope. The 18-year-old French international, with his exceptional talent, is expected to take over the mantle of McBarbie and become a mainstay of the team in the future.
Shalrie Amelie, the PSG youth academy producer, made his league debut at the age of 16, becoming the youngest player in PSG's history to make an appearance, and his rise to prominence has been remarkable. Last November, he was even promoted to French international status, and is expected to make a big impact in this summer's Europa League. Though he doesn't play in the same position as McBarbie, both are talented in their respective fields. Faced with the departure of McBarbie, PSG coach Ekka Rahim decisively put Shalrie Amelie on the right track and quickly agreed a long-term deal with him.
Shalrie Amery's contract was set to expire next summer, and he was thrilled with the extension, saying, "I'm so happy to stay at PSG, this is my beloved home and I hope to contribute more to the team." Unlike McBarbee, who has been labeled as "greedy" and "spiteful" in his image, Sully Amelie has won more favor with his humility and dedication, and his potential to become the next generation of PSG's leader is not to be underestimated.
