PSG goalkeeper Martin James opts for free transfer amid interest

Summary

Martin James, PSG's young goalkeeper, has decided to leave the club on a free transfer this summer after rejecting a first professional contract. Despite the opportunity to work with coach Luis Enrique, James feels his development may be better served elsewhere. Having been a standout in the U19 team, he has attracted interest from several clubs, particularly those in European competitions. PSG's failure to secure him on a professional deal means they will not receive a transfer fee. The club is expected to bring in another goalkeeper, with Alessandro Longoni from AC Milan reported to be close to joining.
