Club career[]

Early career[]

Born in Aix-les-Bains in southeastern France, Michut played for FC Le Chesnay 78 from September 2009 to October 2011. He then moved to Versailles, which he stayed at until June 2015, before joining the academy of Paris Saint-Germain in July 2016. He has been named the "new Verratti" (and also by some as "new Messi") in France due to his technical ability and tactical versatility, and has attracted the attention of major clubs, namely Manchester City, Juventus, Barcelona and Valencia.[1]

Paris Saint-Germain[]

On 23 July 2020, Michut signed his first professional contract with Paris Saint-Germain, a deal lasting until 2023.[2] He made his debut in a 4–0 win over Dijon on 27 February 2021, coming on as a substitute for Danilo Pereira at the 89th minute of the match.[3][4]

On 18 June 2021, Michut extended his contract with PSG to 2025.[5] However, on 18 August, he was sent back to train with the under-19 squad coached by Zoumana Camara.[6]

International career[]

Michut has been a youth international for France in the past, representing his nation at U16 and U17 level.

Personal life[]

Edouard's younger brother Etienne plays in the youth ranks of Paris Saint-Germain.[7] He signed an “aspiring” contract with the club in April 2021.[8]

On 17 July 2021, Michut tested positive for COVID-19.[9]
