Developed at Paris Saint-Germain, Mahamadou Sangaré didn’t hesitate to turn his back on his formative club last summer. The 18-year-old Malian forward refused to sign his first professional contract with PSG to join Manchester City, a strong choice he has embraced in an interview with Onze Mondial:
“The project proposed by PSG wasn’t clear. I preferred to leave, because we didn’t agree on certain points. After reflection, I made the decision to leave the club. I wanted playing time, a place in the professional squad, I didn’t want guarantees either, but at least to have a chance. In their discussions, I understood that I wasn’t going to get any minutes. So I didn’t want to sign my professional contract with PSG.”
