“In my house, at Paris Saint-Germain. Wide smile on his lips, PSG jersey on his back, Ousmane Dembélé could finally let his Parisian heart speak and confide his joy of donning a tunic that made him dream so much as a kid. After ten days of negotiations and waiting related to administrative details, the 2018 world champion officially became a PSG player this Saturday.
The 26-year-old French striker has signed up for five seasons with the capital club, which paid 50 million euros to FC Barcelona in order to secure his services. The final details were finalized late on Friday evening. “I am very happy to join Paris Saint-Germain and eager to play in my new colors, said Dembélé, from Vernon (Eure). I hope to continue to grow here and make all club lovers proud. It’s very exciting and I hope we will do great things together. »
Tour of the facilities and seat in the stands with his friend… always on the sidelines
In any case, it did not drag before blending into its new landscape. In the minutes that followed the formalization of his signature, Dembélé was already able to take his first steps in the shoes of a PSG player. In the morning, he took advantage of the club’s new facilities in Poissy and met some of his partners who had not been selected for the evening meeting against Lorient (Marco Verratti, Abdou Diallo, Renato Sanches, Nordi Mukiele ).
He then headed to the Parc des Princes and discovered the rest of the squad in the Saint-Cloud door locker room… where a certain Kylian Mbappé was also. Despite being sidelined, the world champion visited his partners with whom he has not been training for a fortnight now.
A funny situation when PSG still intends to deprive him of the field as long as he does not extend his contract… The two friends then took their places side by side in the box of the top scorer in the history of PSG in order to assist in their team’s first outing of the season against FC Lorient. In the morning, via social networks, Mbappé greeted his friend’s signature with a “Welcome home my brother”, a way of supporting, by the way, his decision to stay in Paris this season.
Ninth recruit of the summer, Ousmane Dembélé comes to reinforce a Parisian attack in lack of pure talent and speed. He could quickly make his debut with PSG. The player feels mentally and physically ready to return to competition. His baptism of fire should normally take place next Saturday (9 p.m.) on the lawn of Toulouse, seven years after playing his last match in Ligue 1 in the jersey of Stade Rennes.
