The new star. This summer, Paris Saint-Germain is looking for a new headliner. After losing Lionel Messi, free party at Inter Miami, the residents of the Parc des Princes could also do without Kylian Mbappé. If you are not yet aware (for that, you have to live cut off from the world), the 24-year-old player is thrown into an endless showdown with the capital club because he refuses to exercise his option to extend his contract beyond June 2024. Paris has given him an ultimatum since he has until July 31 to extend otherwise he will be sold.
But in the spirit of PSG, the Frenchman is no longer there. It is impossible for the leaders that he agrees to stay since they believe that he already has an agreement with Real Madrid. Under pressure, because the captain of the Blues must be sold this summer, Paris already has ideas to replace him. As revealed exclusively on our site on July 6, Doha has made Ousmane Dembélé (26) its top priority. The former BVB player has always been highly appreciated by the Ile-de-France management, who had already tested the ground in the past.
Paris can believe it for Dembouz
In addition, we explained to you that the French champions were willing to pay Dembouz’s release clause. This is set at 50 million euros until July 31. As this date approaches, PSG does not let go. This Friday, AS confirms our information by specifying that the Ile-de-France residents are still very interested in the idea of enlisting the 2018 world champion. But the Iberian media gives new very interesting details. We already told you that Luis Enrique is a big fan of the player.
AS adds that the Asturian has, this time, given the green light for PSG to pass the second. The PSG coach is ready to draw on Barça, he who was not necessarily for it at the start. Then, the Spanish publication specifies that FC Barcelona, which has tried to extend its player until 2027 and which has failed for the moment, does not close the door to a departure. In the hard financially, the Culés know that they can recover a big check (they do not want to lose the free player in June 2024, nldr) and move forward on recruitment since Xavi is still calling for recruits. Good news for Paris, which will also have to convince Ousmane Dembélé, who was the subject of an XXL proposal from Al Nassr this summer, according to our information.
