Ousmane Dembélé, the 29-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 rumors. L’Equipe reported on Friday that discussions are underway, with the financial aspect remaining a sticking point.
“Dembélé could earn more money than at PSG.
Even though the 2025 Ballon d’Or winner still has two years left on his contract, negotiations for an extension seem to be progressing well. There’s no agreement between the two parties, but the desire is mutual. The financial aspect is now the most complex to manage.
Paris Saint-Germain assures that the existing salary structure will remain unchanged and that no extravagant spending will be undertaken. At 29, Dembélé is being courted in a market where he could earn more money than at PSG. The Frenchman is about to sign one of the last sporting contracts of his career and logically expects a raise on his current deal (estimated at €1.5 million gross per month).”
It all makes sense, with a player who seems happy at PSG and a club that has no reason to want to let its Ballon d’Or winner go. However, the financial aspect is always important, and we’ve already seen a separation occur due to a major disagreement. It’s not out of the question, even if it’s not yet likely.
The latest rumors surrounding this matter have been quite plausible; in fact, the sports daily mentions a deal that “seems to be moving in the right direction.” We now await concrete details to learn more, as is always the case during the transfer window.
