Transfer news – Dembélé's PSG contract extension still in doubt

Ousmane Dembélé, the 29-year-old forward for the French national team and Paris Saint-Germain (under contract until 2028), has reached another level in the capital. Naturally, he is attracting interest and rumors because of his qualities and the gradual approach of the end of his contract. L’Equipe reported this Friday that discussions are underway, with the financial aspect still proving problematic.

“Dembélé could earn more money than at PSG.

Even though the 2025 Ballon d’Or winner still has two years left on his contract, negotiations over an extension seem to be heading in the right direction. There is no agreement between the two parties, but the desire is mutual. The financial issue is now the most complex to handle. Paris insists that the wage structure put in place will not change and that no crazy spending will be done. At 29, Dembélé is being courted on a market where he could earn more money than at PSG. The Frenchman is about to sign one of the last major sporting contracts of his career and logically expects an improved deal compared to his current one (estimated at €1.5 million gross per month).”

It all makes sense, with a player who seems happy at PSG and a club that has no reason to want to let its Ballon d’Or leave. However, the financial point always matters, and we have already seen splits happen because of too great a disagreement. That cannot be ruled out here, even if it is not likely yet.

The latest rumors in this case have seemed fairly plausible; moreover, the sports daily says here that the matter “seems to be heading in the right direction.” We are now waiting for concrete developments to learn more, as always during the transfer window.
