Yael Fritz Junior Trepy (born 20 May 2006) is a French professional footballer who plays as a forward for Italian Serie A club Cagliari.
Born in Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, Trepy is a youth product of US Créteil-Lusitanos, where he was scouted by Pierluigi Carta during an under-17 game, joining the academy of Cagliari in 2022.[2][3][4]
In August 2024, he signed his first professional contract with Cagliari,[5] proving to be a standout with Fabio Pisacane's Primavera,[2] whom he helped win the 2025 Coppa Italia Primavera, as he scored in the final, a 3–0 beating of AC Milan.[4][6][7]
During the 2025–26 season, Fabio Pisacane stepped up as manager for the first team. Trepy was part of the youth players who followed Pisacane to the senior squad.[2][8][9], along the likes of Joseph Liteta,[10] Alessandro Vinciguerra, Nicola Pintus and Ivan Sulev.[11][12][13][14]
Trepy made his professional debut with Cagliari in a 2–2 Serie A away draw with US Cremonese on 8 January 2026.[4][15] Coming on for his captain Gabriele Zappa on the 84th minute, as his team trailed 2–1, he scored a late equalizer only 4 minutes later,[8][15] earning him the man of the match award[4] and making him the first under-20 French player to score on his debut in a Top 4 league in the 21st century.[2]
Style of play
A left-footed centre-forward,[8] also able to play as a second striker or right winger,[2][6] Yael Trepy is described as an athletic player, very tall and physical, but still showing great technique and agility.[4]
Wearing the number 10 as a youth player, his style has been compared to the likes of French international Thierry Henry.[4]
