Dembélé wants improved PSG deal after Ballon d'Or nod, says report | OneFootball

After a brilliant season with Paris Saint-Germain, forward Ousmane Dembélé was named the Ballon d'Or winner for the 2024/25 season, in a vote conducted by France Football magazine. However, with the award, the 28-year-old player believes that his contract with the Parisian club has become “insufficient” for his current status. Thus, the athlete would like to renew his contract with higher figures, according to information from the newspaper L’Equipe.

Current contract and negotiations

Dembélé’s contract with PSG expires in 2028. According to the newspaper, the amount the forward would earn at the club is around €18 million gross (approximately R$114 million). This figure is considered insufficient for the current best player in the world.

Meanwhile, Luis Campos, PSG’s sporting director, and Moussa Sissoko, the player’s agent, are reportedly already in negotiations for Dembélé’s contract renewal.

Appreciation and performance

The Parisians are well aware that Dembélé has evolved significantly in several aspects since joining the team. PSG understands why the forward is positioning himself to receive a kind of raise. The player’s market value has nearly doubled in the past twelve months, rising from 50 million to 100 million euros.

This season, Dembélé has been struggling with minor injuries and has not even played five matches for PSG. The forward has played four games, scoring two goals and providing two assists.
