Saudi league readying offer for Dembélé, current Ballon d'Or winner | OneFootball

Ousmane Dembélé has caught the attention of the Saudi Pro League. The player is under contract with Paris Saint-Germain until June 2028, which is why the Saudi League is planning an ambitious move for the athlete. The player’s future is set until the end of this season, but discussions may open up after the World Cup in July.

Dembélé is the current Ballon d'Or winner, and for this reason, some key figures in the SPL are making preliminary inquiries about the player's situation. According to information from Sky Sports, the trend is that the post-World Cup transfer window will be busy in Saudi Arabia, with the Frenchman as the league’s main target. No figures have been disclosed, but the information is that it involves “a substantial package.”

Second generation in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia made several signings for its league that are coming to an end this season. With the contracts of some international stars expiring, the country is now working on the next generation of talent.

According to Sky Sports, Dembélé’s team stated that the player has only two priorities until the end of the season: PSG and the World Cup with France. After the season ends, Dembélé’s future and the possibility of a transfer may come up for discussion. The main factor for a possible transfer would be the high salary required for the Frenchman’s renewal. The club’s president, Nasser Al Khelaifi, stated this week that players must adapt to the club’s wage structure. “The club’s policy is to have a salary cap for players, as everyone knows. Everyone must respect it. The team and the club are more important than any individual,” said the president.

Meanwhile, Dembélé’s agent’s demands have increased due to the Ballon d'Or win, which could contribute to a transfer.

For Paris Saint-Germain, Dembélé has scored 40 goals and provided 41 assists in 185 matches. He also won the treble last season.
