Paris Saint-Germain has a strong interest in Samir El Mourabet, the 20-year-old Moroccan and French midfielder from RC Strasbourg. The player's technical profile would correspond to certain qualities sought by Luis Enrique for his system, and the club's sporting advisor, Luis Campos, is also monitoring the situation. PSG is not the only club monitoring the situation. According to information reported by Africafoot, Juventus Turin, Villarreal, and RB Leipzig had previously shown interest during the last summer window.

Strasbourg is in a strong negotiating position as El Mourabet, who joined the club in July 2025, is under contract until June 2030. The nine-cap Morocco international has a current Transfermarkt market value of €22.00m. An immediate transfer to Paris does not appear to be the most likely scenario, as PSG's current midfield options would make it difficult for the player to integrate quickly into the starting eleven. The transfer could become more probable in the summer of 2027, which would allow PSG time to monitor his development and assess a potential investment.
