Transfer update
Tunisia's rising star joins Paris Saint-Germain in transfer.
Paris Saint-Germain officially activated the purchase option in Khalil Al-Ayari's loan contract, turning his move from loan into a permanent deal.
The 21-year-old Tunisian winger impressed with the Espoirs side, delivering eye-catching performances on either wing, combining pace with technical flair.
Al-Ayari joined PSG on September 19, 2025, coming from Stade Tunisien on a one-year loan through June 2026, with a buy clause reportedly worth about €1.5 million.
PSG's management is finalizing administrative and financial steps in the final hours of the winter window, ensuring the youngster remains part of the club's long-term project with a possible first-team elevation later.
The move marks a milestone for Tunisian football, underscoring the trust from one of Europe’s leading clubs in rising Tunisian talents.
Impact and context
And now for something different: a transfer saga with less drama than a TV cliffhanger, more goals than meetings.
And fans finally got a slogan: "Al-Ayari is a starter, not a rumor".
Meanwhile, PSG's transfer policy proves you can win matches and misplace your keys to the locker room at the same time.
