Congolese-born French defender Corentin Louakima is reportedly close to joining Italian top-flight side AS Roma as he is on the verge of leaving Ligue 1 giants PSG.

Loïc Mbe Soh or Tanguy Kouassi have already left Paris St-Germain and Arnaud Kalimuendo would arouse interest in Francesco Totti’s Pescara. Another youngster from the PSG training center should join a foreign club and Italy: Corentin Louakima. According to information from RMC, the 17-year-old Franco-Congolese will sign his first professional contract with AS Roma, because he was pessimistic about his chances of doing so at PSG, after being injured last year.

At PSG since 2013, the young side was injured last year and was pessimistic about his chances of signing a professional contract in his training club, which he should do in the transalpine capital. Corentin Louakima, who has never appeared with the first team, in a friendly or in an official match, had an aspiring contract with PSG until 2021.
