AFAIK hearing from someone who went to Avord (for RAMI) they have basically already retired the alphajet for everything beside the PAF. They are currently using the PC-21 even for advanced training (the guy said it was sorely lacking) so it's most likely the replacement for the PAF as well even if I find strange that the frogs prideful as they are would settle for a turboprop to represent them since it would make airshows abroad more challenging and less prestigious.
If they had a trainer in the works I think they would've presented it to the public years ago at the Paris Air Show but if they somehow preferred to hide it I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up looking like the M-346 as the french have had access to the M-346 since 2013 due to Singapore keeping them at the Cazaux Air Base where the SAF has a detachment. And some French pilots have been training on the M-346 in Sardinia for their representation.
Aeralis (UK startup to replace the Hawk) has a little article where they say they proposed to the french to join development to create a joint trainer, so they could also go that way.
