Nice extends Boudaoui's contract until 2026, prioritizing his future core role.

Boudaoui, the French forward who has been in top form for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), is set to extend his contract with the club until 2026, prioritizing his future as a key part of PSG's core team.

The move comes after the 35-year-old forward had a fantastic season last year, scoring 19 goals and providing 8 assists for the French champions. He was also named in the squad that won the Champions League with PSG.

Paris Saint-Germain have been searching for a new striker this summer, but they were unable to find someone who could fill the void left by their star player, Neymar Jr.

However, Boudaoui is expected to be a vital asset for PSG, particularly given the club's focus on building a strong defensive line this summer. The 35-year-old has already played several key roles at the club, including being one of the first players to sign a long-term deal with PSG in 2014.

He has also been instrumental in helping PSG reach the Champions League final last season, where they defeated Manchester United in extra time. Boudaoui's experience and leadership qualities make him an ideal choice for PSG, especially given the club's recent struggles.

Overall, it looks like Boudaoui's extension will provide PSG with a stable foundation for the future of its attacking trio. With the likes of Kylian Mbappé and Neymar Jr. looking to take over the midfield role, there should be plenty of opportunities for Boudaoui to showcase his talent and contribute to the club's success in the coming years.
