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 understandably attracted interest and rumors. Djamel provided an update on Saturday evening.
“Ousmane Dembélé has received an initial verbal offer from the club.
The proposed salary is slightly over €25 million, including a fixed salary and a variable component.
This initial offer does not meet the expectations of the player and his representatives, and is therefore expected to be rejected.
No immediate resolution is anticipated; the matter is likely to take some time.”
Be careful: nothing is certain until it becomes official. We know how quickly the transfer market can move in all directions, especially when it comes to negotiations involving a major player who is now in the media spotlight. Rumours are multiplying, and it is difficult to see things clearly, particularly regarding the exact figures.
That said, Djamel has proven to be a fairly reliable source. The idea of an initial offer being rejected does come up, but it was reportedly below €30 million, without any firm expectation of doubling that amount. There is indeed a negotiation underway, the figures are not official, and nothing has been decided yet. The wisest approach remains to wait before drawing any firm conclusions
