By According to Foot Mercato writer Santi Aouna, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has allegedly set its sights on Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembélé. If Kylian Mbappé, the standout player and captain of France, leaves this summer, the French club views Dembélé as a top target. According to reports, PSG is eager to exercise Dembélé’s €50 million release clause. The gifted winger is thought to be a favourite of Luis Enrique, the next PSG boss.
Luis Campos, the sporting director of PSG, has been keeping a close eye on Dembélé for some time. Campos is aware of the Frenchman’s potential to successfully complement Mbappé’s playing style or maybe fill the vacuum created by the French sensation’s departure. While attempting to keep Dembélé’s services, Barcelona is still optimistic about getting a contract extension for their number 7.
Ousmane Dembélé was purchased by Barcelona from Borussia Dortmund in 2017 for an eye-popping sum of €135 million. Dembélé managed to make 25 appearances in La Liga last season despite a few injury setbacks. During his time on the pitch, he helped the Catalans with five goals and seven assists.
Dembélé has an intriguing chance to work with a star-studded squad and have a big influence in Ligue 1 with a probable transfer to PSG. Given the uncertainty surrounding Mbappé’s future, PSG is aggressively prepared for all possible outcomes and views Dembélé as a good possibility to improve their offensive options.
Fans and analysts alike are anxiously awaiting the results of talks between PSG, Barcelona, and the players as the transfer season progresses. The developments involving Mbappé and Dembélé have the potential to change the face of European football, escalating the already enthralling summer transfer window and adding additional interest and excitement.
