The loss of youth product Kingsley Coman is a shame for Paris Saint-Germain, according to Liverpool centre-back Mamadou Sakho.
Coman left the Parc des Princes for Juventus in 2014, but was loaned out to Bayern Munich – where he has since scored twice in four Bundesliga appearances – ahead of the current campaign having failed to establish himself in Turin.
And Sakho, who also came through the PSG ranks before being moved on in 2013, believes that Coman s bright start to life at the Allianz Arena has highlighted the error of his former club s ways.
I think it s a shame for Paris. He s a quality player who was there in Paris and was not given a chance, the defender told Canal Football Club.
Everyone has their own policies but when I see a talent like that, who cannot emerge and express himself in his own city – and it s also a source of pride for the fans to see a youth product play in their colours – it s unfortunate.
But it s a policy that I do not judge, I respect it, and the youngster can enjoy himself at Bayern.
I congratulate him and encourage him to continue like that.
