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 talent and the fact that his contract is gradually approaching its end, he is naturally attracting interest and speculation. Le Parisien reports this Monday that a contract extension is imminent, even though he was not included in the wave of announcements made last Friday evening.
“As of now, the former Rennes player has yet to put pen to paper on his new deal, but there is optimism at every level of the club. At 29, Dembélé has repeatedly expressed his desire to stay in Paris, and the club shares that sentiment. All that remains is to formalize this intention with a new contract that could run until 2030—adding two extra years.”
Media outlets have been consistent on this for some time, so there is reason for confidence. However, nothing is certain until there is official confirmation; we know how quickly things can change in football, especially during the transfer window.
For the moment, Dembélé is a key figure at PSG and seems to be thriving at the club that helped him reach a new milestone in his career. He has played a major role in Paris’s quest to win the Champions League—doing so twice in a row, no less. An extension would make perfect sense, though we should wait for confirmation to be sure. The announcement might come as part of a broader wave of news, given that talks regarding Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (25) and Désiré Doué (21) have also been reported.
