At the age of four, Warren Zaïre-Emery began playing football in Aubervilliers. Quickly, the Montreuil native caught the eye of Paris Saint-Germain and impressed with his early talent. Having consistently played in teams above his age group, by the age of 15, the central midfielder was an undisputed starter for the capital club's U19s, even helping them to qualify for the last 16 of the UEFA Youth League with direct involvement in two goals in a 3-2 win over Club Brugge.

These displays earned him a direct promotion to the first-team squad, even before celebrating his 16th birthday. In 2022, Zaïre-Emery won the UEFA Under-17 European Championship with France and was named as the tournament's best player. He would continue to showcase his talent and maturity in training, eventually signing his first professional contract with the capital club on 15th July 2022. A few weeks later, the central midfielder became the youngest player in the club's history to play in a competitive match, coming on as a substitute against Clermont at the age of 16 years, four months and 29 days.

Zaïre-Emery has kept breaking records in Ligue 1 and in the Champions League by becoming the youngest player in Paris Saint-Germain's history to start a knockout-stage match, against Bayern Munich. In the 2022–2023 season, he won his first French league title with Paris, playing in 26 matches at the age of just 17.
