Ousmane Dembélé, the 28-year-old French national team and Paris Saint-Germain striker (contract until 2028), has reached another level in the capital. His talent and the approaching end of his contract have naturally attracted interest and fueled rumors. Marca addresses the rumor of a possible transfer to Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia’s interest in the former FC Barcelona player has resurfaced strongly in recent weeks. The Frenchman has known for some time that he is being courted by the Saudi league, but things have progressed little because, for the moment, he is not looking ahead and has not received any offers.
Furthermore, Dembélé is in no hurry; He will meet with PSG in due course to discuss a contract extension, but for now, no discussions have taken place between the two parties, apart from the idea, expressed after the Ballon d’Or, of meeting again soon to address the issue.
It’s still just a rumor, so we remain cautious. But seeing Dembélé reject this option for the moment is quite credible, at least as much as the idea of a potential transfer. For now, Saudi Arabia is a rumor that resurfaces from time to time, without the slightest confirmation. A contract extension seems more likely. Or, perhaps, a move to a different league.
Nothing is certain yet; we’ll have to wait to see things more clearly. There’s talk of difficulties in reaching a financial agreement, but that hasn’t been confirmed either.
