Ousmane Dembélé, the 28-year-old striker for the French national team and Paris Saint-Germain (under contract until 2028), has taken on a new dimension in the capital. He is naturally attracting interest and rumors given his qualities and the fact that his contract is slowly coming to an end. L’Equipe reports that a new contract is set to be discussed and that the Ballon d’Or could help secure a significant pay rise.
“Dembélé could aim for a salary among the top five in the world.”
“The world champion, if he wins the most prestigious individual title on September 22, will in any case be in a strong position to renegotiate his contract and salary.
Already the highest-paid player on the team, with a gross monthly salary estimated at €1.5 million, Dembélé, who has numerous variables in his contract, will be able to aim for a salary among the top five in the world. Without, of course, reaching the level of Lionel Messi in the capital, estimated at €30 million net per year, his fixed salary will evolve.
“It will be a discussion to be had,” those involved in the matter say soberly. This summer or fall, the subject will be put on the table.”
We are always wary of figures reported in the media and transfer rumors, including those about a contract extension. However, we suspect that Dembélé could negotiate a higher salary if there are talks. His performance and status have undeniably changed since he arrived at PSG.
The Ballon d’Or would be a clear confirmation, even if it doesn’t really change his importance on the field. There is still a certain status that could weigh in the negotiations.
Let’s wait for certainty about the figures. The discussion hasn’t even been mentioned as having started.
