Ismaël Gharbi (born 10 April 2004) is a French-Tunisian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain and the France U18 national team.[2]

Club career[]

Gharbi began his career at Paris FC in 2010, and joined the Paris Saint-Germain Academy in 2016.[3] In 2020, he was part of the PSG team that participated at the Alkass International Cup in Qatar, finishing in third place.[4] He scored 5 goals across the tournament; a brace against Kashiwa Reysol in the group stage,[5] a goal against Zenit Saint Petersburg in the quarter-finals,[6] one against Inter Milan in the semi-finals,[7] and another against the Mohammed VI Academy in the third place match.[4]

In April 2021, Gharbi was included in Paris Saint-Germain's squad for the UEFA Champions League quarter-final first leg against Bayern Munich, an eventual 3–2 victory for Les Parisiens at the Allianz Arena.[3][8] On 14 July 2021, he scored a goal in his first appearance for PSG's senior team, a 4–0 friendly victory over Le Mans at the Camp des Loges.[9] On 1 August 2021, he made his professional debut, coming on as a substitute in a 1–0 Trophée des Champions loss to Lille.[10]

International career[]

Gharbi has been called up by the France under-17s. The Tunisian Football Federation has previously made efforts to convince Gharbi to represent Tunisia instead of France.[11] In 2021, Gharbi was called up to play for the France under-18s for the Tournoi International de Limoges.[12]

Style of play[]

Gharbi is a versatile player; although primarily an attacking midfielder, he can also play as a wide and central midfielder.[9] Hervé Guégan, who coached Gharbi at the Alkass International Cup in 2020, has stated that he is a player “technically at ease” and that “he always makes passes with good timing.”[3]

Personal life[]

Born in France, Gharbi is of Tunisian descent.[13]
