OhUsman Dembele has become a puzzle piece for PSG when it comes to closing a contract renewal that expires on June 30, 2028. The French team is clear that Dembele is an essential part of the project and the aim is to extend the contract, but the current wage gap and the stratospheric supply that is being prepared in Saudi Arabia is hampering the Frenchman’s continuity in Paris, according to Sky Sports
Negotiations over his contract extension have been losing ground in recent months as the numbers demanded by his agent have increased. Meanwhile, the silent threat to soccer in Saudi Arabia has become increasingly visible. The first signs that both PSG and the player received point to a strong attack from Saudi Arabian football. A proposal that could amount to 100 million euros for the club, with one of the best salaries in the country for the player. An offer that, if it materializes, would leave PSG in an awkward dilemma: match the astronomical bid or open the door for their Ballon d’Or winner, whose departure just a few months ago seemed unthinkable.
With time to negotiate, but with the threat of Saudi Arabia, the scenario is now open
