Ousmane Dembélé has finally agreed to Paris Saint-Germain, and the transfer of the Barcelona winger should be completed this week. Things moved quickly in this case.

Ousmane Dembélé at Paris Saint-Germain, it’s almost done. According to many media, the French international winger has agreed to the capital club, which will exercise its purchase option at 50 million euros and sign a 5-year contract.

At the end of last week, RMC and Foot Mercato announced in particular that the transfer was on the right track. L’Equipe went in the opposite direction, saying that nothing is done. But journalist Loïc Tanzi explains this reversal in his latest article. According to him, PSG quickly changed its tune, via President Nasser Al-Khelaifi, by reinvesting the sum planned for the transfer of Rasmus Hojland, the Atalanta striker, leaving for Manchester United.

In Catalonia, Mundo Deportivo explain that Barça did everything to convince Dembélé to stay. The player met president Joan Laporta on Saturday, who reminded him of his importance in the project. The next day, it was Xavi who spoke with him. But that did not prevent the former Rennais from giving in to the Parisian sirens.

Of the 50 million euros, only half will go to Barca, the other part will go to Dembélé himself. PSG must imperatively activate this clause this Monday, July 31, but it will then have time to finalize the outlines of the contract with the 2018 world champion.
