The possibility of Ousmane Dembélé’s departure from PSG is a topic of discussion as the French star and Paris Saint-Germain struggle to reach an agreement on a contract extension, with his current deal running until June 2028. Reports surfaced last week that the club offered the 2018 World Cup winner a salary of 30 million euros annually. However, Dembélé declined the offer.

Contract talks hit a stalemate

The rejection of PSG’s offer is reportedly due to it falling short of the expectations of Dembélé and his entourage. This impasse has led to questions about the future of the number 10 for the Parisians. Observers suggest that an unfavorable outcome is not off the table, as noted by journalist Loïc Tanzi during a recent appearance on L’Équipe du soir.

« Far from reaching an agreement »

« We don’t have the exact figures, but discussions have been ongoing for several months. They are far from reaching an agreement. The initial offers from PSG are not likely to be accepted by Dembélé, who expects compensation reflecting his status as a player of the caliber of a Ballon d’Or winner. Will it eventually be resolved? I’m not certain, » explained the journalist.

Despite the media coverage of the ongoing negotiations, Dembélé himself had previously conveyed positive sentiments in an interview with CNN and Amanda Davies. « Every footballer wants to be part of a very strong team. I’m very happy in this team. Everyone is important, whether you’re young or a bit older, » shared the native of Vernon.
