Ousmane Dembélé, the 29-year-old France and Paris Saint-Germain forward (under contract until 2028), has taken his game to the next level in the capital. Given his qualities and the fact that his contract is slowly approaching its end, he is naturally attracting interest and speculation. Onze Mondial and journalist Abdellah Boulma report this Monday that the framework for a contract extension has been established.
Onze Mondial: “Talks have allowed all parties to reach an agreement”
“Under contract until 2028, the Ballon d’Or winner saw discussions regarding a contract extension begin shortly after securing the famous award, and significant progress has been made in recent weeks. Indeed, talks have enabled all parties to agree on the terms of a deal. Once Ousmane Dembélé returns to training, further discussions are expected to take place between the player’s representatives and the Paris management to finalize the agreement.”
Abdellah Boulma: “Only a few final adjustments remain to be made”
Under contract until June 2028, Ousmane Dembélé is nearing a contract extension with PSG. Only a few final adjustments remain before a definitive agreement is reached.
These are generally reliable sources, so we place a fair amount of trust in these announcements, which came in quick succession. This aligns with the trend of recent weeks, despite a brief rumor regarding interest from Al-Hilal. The Saudi club is trying its luck with various players, and Dembélé could be among them. However, actually sealing a transfer is a completely different matter.
A departure for the Parisian number 10 is absolutely not on the agenda. He has taken a significant step forward under coach Luis Enrique and seems to thoroughly enjoy playing the number 9 role. This position allows him to contribute to the team in a unique way. He is a key figure in the two consecutive Champions League titles won by Paris.
It makes sense for both parties to want to continue together, even if the relationship might not necessarily last until the end of the new contract. The deal rewards the player’s progress and ensures that any future departure would still be beneficial for PSG in the coming years—assuming such a departure happens, as that stage has not yet been reached.
