Barcelona Star Ousmane Dembele Secures Long-Term Contract with PSG

The forward wants the move

The French champions are keen to active his €50 million release clause and now appear to have convinced the player to make the move as well.

Deal with PSG

• Ousmane Dembele has reportedly reached a verbal agreement on a five-year deal with PSG.
• Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano reports Dembele “says yes” to PSG and his agent has agreed a deal until 2028.
• PSG is trying to finalize a deal with Barcelona, but only have until midnight to do so.
• After midnight, Dembele’s release clause returns to €100 million.

Rejection of Barcelona

The news will come as a blow to Barcelona, particularly Xavi, who has reportedly been trying to convince Dembele to reject the interest from PSG and stay at the Camp Nou.

Change of Heart

PSG’s interest comes just over a month after Dembele rejected talk of a move to Parc des Princes. The forward spoke about the speculation in an interview with Marca and said “there was and is nothing with PSG.”
