Al Khelaïfi warns Dembélé

DEbele

With the contract renewals of Fabián Ruiz and William Pacho now finalized , PSG faces one of the most important contract extensions of Luis Enrique’s project: that of Ousmane Dembélé . The Parisian club has already begun initial contact with the player’s representatives with the aim of making him the team’s franchise player, although some complications may arise, such as the French international’s salary demands.

In fact, PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi made it clear in an interview with Canal + , when asked about Dembélé ‘s contract renewal , that they wouldn’t do anything crazy to try and extend his contract. “We have a salary cap, as everyone knows,” he reminded everyone, implying that they wouldn’t accept any salary demands from the player’s representatives that didn’t match the maximum they were prepared to offer.

Furthermore, the Qatari official asserted that “ Dembélé is a club legend” and that “the team and the club are the most important thing,” emphasizing that no one, not even the current Ballon d’Or winner, can be placed above the institution. Therefore, negotiations will not be a matter of days, and one of the main topics will be addressing the French international’s salary.
