Since midday, rumors have been rife about the arrival of Ousmane Dembélé at Paris Saint-Germain. Regularly cited among the targets of the capital club, the Barcelona striker is about to validate his transfer according to several media. According to our information, the case is far from being concluded.
If the interest for the French international (37 caps, 4 goals) is not denied, several internal sources indicate that there are no advanced negotiations for his transfer today. The former Rennais is under contract with Barcelona until 2024. Last year, when he was extended, a departure clause of 50 million euros was negotiated, which can be activated until July 31, and which would double after this date, i.e. 100 million euros. This July 31 deadline could push PSG to play its card even if, at the same time, the Catalan club still hopes to negotiate a new lease with the 26-year-old player.
Ousmane Dembélé is currently in Los Angeles to take part in the Blaugrana’s tour of the United States. On the night of Wednesday to Thursday, he came into play during the match lost by his team against Arsenal (3-5). “I think he’s delighted at Barca and wants to stay. We are in talks for a multi-year contract. He is a player that Xavi (the coach) likes a lot and that I like a lot. We want him to stay, ”said President Joan Laporta in the columns of Mundo Deportivo a fortnight ago. And to add: “Its representatives are tough in business but I respect their position. Hope we get to business soon. He will not activate the clause signed last summer in any case. »
However, this is indeed all the challenge for the next three days… While the future of Kylian Mbappé at PSG continues to make a lot of ink flow, here is another soap opera that starts with Dembélé, his friend and partner in Blue , in the main role. The former crack of Évreux had already been announced very close to Paris last year, before extending his contract in Barcelona a few weeks later. In a similar register but less experienced than the 2018 world champion, Luis Campos does not let go of the young international hope of Lyon Bradley Barcola. Even if no offer has yet arrived on the office of Gones.
