Hupu, August 5, French media team, FootMercato and other media confirmed that RB Leipzig midfielder Hedara agreed to join Paris FC.

After successfully introducing Otavio (Porto) but failing to attract Benjamin Andre from Lille, the club's top executives are working to bring in a high-level player: Leipzig midfielder Amadou Hydara (27, contracted until 2026).

Sports director François Ferrac can rely on the Paris club's minority shareholder Red Bull. Hedara spent his entire career with Red Bulls, playing for Leverling, Salzburg and Leipzig.

The Mali international who once trained at Jean-Mark Gillu Youth Training Academy (45 appearances, 2 goals) is worth between 20 million and 25 million euros. He has reached a contract agreement with Paris FC. All that remains is an agreement between the two clubs. Negotiations are underway.

This player who can be competent for the No. 6, No. 8, No. 10 or winger position is favored by many powerful teams with a wonderful touch.

In 2018, Monaco, coached by Anthony Subizareta, had contacted him. Two years later, Paul Mitchell, then head of sports in Monaco, also tried it. In the 2019-2020 season, the "great" Leipzig - the team participating in the Champions League semi-finals - Hydara had to step down as a substitute.

And what he often holds is the extremely important rotation midfield position. Although Hydara's career has not been achieved overnight in the top league, it has maintained a steady upward momentum and presented a straight trajectory.
