Paris Saint-Germain will reportedly get Ousmane Dembele from Barcelona for €50 million through a private clause, according to renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano. Despite the €50 million release clause expiring and the fee now being doubled to €100 million, PSG has reportedly sent a formal letter to Barcelona. This allows the club to take on the 25-year-old player for an initial fee.
News of Dembele’s signing with the Parisians dominated headlines, as it was reported that the footballer had verbally agreed with PSG on a five-year deal. Italian journalist Romano said PSG and Barcelona are now trying to close the deal by the end of the week. This is possibly after the Spanish camp returns from their tour to the US.
More developments are expected in the coming days, however, Ousmane will join PSG. PSG is reworking its entire squad after losing Lionel Messi to Inter Miami and preparing for Kylian Mbappe's departure.
Dembele is set to join Marco Asensio and Lee Kang-In as the Ligue 1 champions’ third attacking signing of the transfer window. Under Barcelona boss Xavi, Dembele has been described as “at the same level as Neymar. However, he was seen dipping in at the beginning of last season, but he recovered strongly during the later part of the campaign.
As the most improved player in 2022, the footballer has been at the heart of everything for Barcelona when he is healthy. Since becoming one of the biggest spenders in the transfer window, PSG has indulged in some of the most expensive summer spending. This is since the club recruited Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.
Reaching €156 million, PSG has splashed the cash on Manuel Ugarte, Lucas Hernandez, Lee Kang-in, and Hugo Ekitike for an undisclosed fee, all of whom will soon play under newly appointed manager Luis Enrique.
