Paris Saint-Germain have been a European powerhouse since their change of ownership more than a decade ago. However, in this period their evolution on the pitch has come at a price, losing out on academy prospects in favour of big name stars.

Mike Maignan, Christopher Nkunku and Mousa Diaby are just some of the academy prospects PSG have let slip in their pursuit of big-name signings.
