At 28 years old, Ousmane Dembélé, forward for Paris Saint-Germain, wishes to renegotiate his contract after a solid season under Luis Enrique. But according to Jérôme Rothen (Rothen s’enflamme), the Parisian leaders refuse to give in to the demands of the French international and intend to keep their salary structure unchanged.

What emerges is that Paris Saint-Germain does not intend to give in to the demands and disrupt its salary structure."

This firmness from Paris Saint-Germain marks an important shift in its internal policy. Long accustomed to giving in to the contractual whims of its stars, the club now wants to establish a clear framework, symbolizing a more balanced locker room. Dembélé, having returned to his best form for several months, nevertheless embodies an obvious sporting success.
But Paris, now led by a more rational management, prefers to uphold the salary hierarchy established since the departure of certain major figures. Behind this decision is a desire to preserve economic and human cohesion, essential for a group where young talents must feel that merit prevails over status.
This refusal, far from being a rupture, mainly marks a cultural change at PSG: that of a club learning to say no, even to its stars.
