El Chadaille Bitshiabu (born 16 May 2005) is a French professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Bundesliga club RB Leipzig.[3]

Club career

Paris Saint-Germain

Bitshiabu is a former youth player of US Saint-Denis and Boulogne-Billancourt. He joined the Paris Saint-Germain Academy in 2017.[4] He caught attention of the media during a friendly tournament later that year due to his exceptional height at that age.[5]

On 27 July 2020, Bitshiabu signed a three-year aspiring contract with Paris Saint-Germain.[6] He made his first appearance for the senior team the following week on 5 August, in a 1–0 friendly win over Sochaux.[7] On 29 July 2021, Bitshiabu signed his first professional contract, tying him to the club until June 2024.[8] He made his debut for the club in a 3–0 Coupe de France win over Feignies Aulnoye on 19 December 2021.[9] His debut at the age of 16 years and 213 days made him the youngest player to appear in an official match for the club, a record which was previously held by Kingsley Coman.[10] On 20 April 2022, he made his Ligue 1 debut as a substitute in a 3–0 away win over Angers.[11]

On 28 December 2022, Bitshiabu made his first Ligue 1 start for PSG in a 2–1 home win over Strasbourg, playing as a left-back to fill in for the late withdrawal of Juan Bernat due to injury. After the match, manager Christophe Galtier hailed Bitshiabu's performance as "very good".[12] On 8 March 2023, he made his UEFA Champions League debut in a 2–0 defeat against Bayern Munich in the round of 16 second leg, replacing the injured Nordi Mukiele at half-time.[13]

RB Leipzig

On 18 July 2023, Bitshiabu signed for Bundesliga club RB Leipzig on a five-year contract, and was assigned the number 5 jersey.[14] The reported transfer fee was €15 million, with an additional €5 million in potential bonuses.[15]

International career

Bitshiabu is a French youth international. He started to receive call-ups to French youth teams in January 2020.[16] In 2021, Bitshiabu was called up to play for the France under-18s for the Tournoi International de Limoges.[17]

Personal life

Born in France, Bitshiabu is of DR Congolese descent.[18]
