Here is our mid-season loan watch review on how PSG players are faring away from the club.

Mid-season loan watch: how PSG's loaned player are faring?

Gabriel Moscardo

The 20-year old Brazilian is certainly one of the biggest failure in terms of signing of the club in recent years. The player who joined PSG from Corinthians São Paulo in January 2024 is yet to make an appearance for the European Champions. Last season, he was loaned to Stade de Reims in Ligue to gain some experience in the league before coming back to the club, however, many injuries side-lined him for most of the season as Reims was relegated to Ligue 2.

This season, he was loaned out to Portuguese club Braga to once again secure minutes on the pitch and showcase his great potential. Unfortunately, he has had difficulties breaking into the squad, featuring in only 19 games in the first part of the season, many off the bench. In total, he played 630 minutes for the Portuguese side, tallying just one goal and one assist. SC Braga are currently having a disappointing season and are sitting at the fifth spot in Liga Portugal.

Renato Sanches

The Portuguese is currently on loan at Greek giants Panathinaikos until the end of the season with his contract with PSG set to expire in 2027. He shouldn't stay at the club past this season and will look for options at the end of the season.

Unfortunately, the theme of his career has been injuries. This season in Greece is not different as he only played nine games due to several injuries keeping him off the pitch. In total, he featured for only 371 minutes on the pitch, with his last appearance being on January 11th as he came off the bench in a 3-0 home win.

Randal Kolo Muani

The French international striker is undoubtedly the biggest profile of this list and his transfer saga during the summer kept PSG fans wondering if he would ever be loaned out of the club. While his minutes on the pitch are consistent with 21 appearances and 1,135 minutes played, he has had tremendous difficulties to be impactful with a Tottenham side who is struggling to get positive results consistently.

With only two goals and three assists, the 27-year-old is struggling, even though all PSG fans will remember the best game of his season, in the Champions League at the Parc des Princes as he scored a brace and delivered one assists in the Spurs 5-3 loss to Paris.

Yoram Zague

Yoram Zague is currently loaned at Copenhagen aiming to gain valuable experience in Denmark. While he only featured 15 times for 511 minutes played and two goals and one assist. He managed to play several Champions League game. Nonetheless, the 19-year-old is struggling to break into the starting XI and has not played since the end of October in SuperLiga despite playing in the Champions League several times.

Naoufel El Hannach

Naoufel El Hannach has been a consistent starter for Ligue 2 side Montpellier lead by former PSG assistant coach Zoumana Camara. The 19-year-old has made 17 appearances across Ligue 2 and Coupe de France games, featuring for 1,091 minutes. He has been gaining crucial experience and could be expected to remain at the club after this season.
