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. This situation was discussed on the 100% PSG program “La tribune d’Ici Paris” by journalists Marc Mechenoua (Le Parisien) and Loïc Tanzi (L’Equipe).
“His future will likely lie elsewhere than in Paris.”
“PSG and Dembélé are struggling to agree on the salary for his new contract, particularly regarding the fixed and variable components. Since he hasn’t always played every match and has had some injuries, this has impacted his annual salary. He would like the fixed and variable components to be as close together as possible.”
“His future will likely lie elsewhere than in Paris.”
“If he hasn’t extended his contract by next summer and his second half of the season is similar to his start, his future will likely lie elsewhere than in Paris.”
We’re remaining cautious; nothing is certain here. If there were a major piece of news, one of the journalists would publish it immediately. There’s mostly a lot of doubt and uncertainty. But there’s clearly no agreement at the moment, since nothing has been announced by the club. This could lead to a departure, depending on the various opportunities and the extent of the impasse.
For now, negotiations are underway, and there’s still plenty of time to discuss things further. There’s no rush. The season still has to play out, and many things can happen. The transfer window is far from being set.
