According to information from Footmercato this Friday, Ousmane Dembélé is set to leave FC Barcelona to join PSG. The Parisian club will activate the player’s buyout clause, which amounts to 50 million euros.
While waiting to resolve the possible departure of Kylian Mbappé this summer, PSG is about to make a major move in the transfer market. According to Footmercato, the team led by Nasser al Khelaifi will sign Ousmane Dembélé from FC Barcelona. According to the French media, a contractual agreement has even been reached between the Parisian club and the Blaugrana winger for a 5-year contract. The medical examination is expected to take place in Los Angeles.
To secure Ousmane Dembélé’s services, PSG will activate the release clause in the player’s contract with FC Barcelona. As a reminder, when he extended his contract last summer, the former Borussia Dortmund player inserted a departure clause of 50 million euros, which can be activated until July 31st. A major move for PSG, who will welcome an extremely talented player while they are still dealing with the Kylian Mbappé situation. It is especially an opportunity for the new coach, Luis Enrique, who eagerly wanted this player.
On the other hand, FC Barcelona, who had hoped to extend their player once again this summer, is losing one of its best elements. However, this departure will help replenish the Spanish club’s coffers, which is much needed. Barcelona will also be able to make room in the wage bill to register new reinforcements in the transfer market. Ultimately, this transfer will be beneficial in different ways for all parties involved.
