According to ESPN, the French champions have been in talks with the 26-year-old forward for some time now. A total agreement has been reached with the player, who is set to begin a new footballing journey in the French capital.

Dembélé, who has a €50 million release clause in his contract with Barcelona until July 31, has already agreed to a tenure of a five-year deal with PSG. Signaling his readiness to take on new challenges and embrace the club’s ambitious vision. While Barcelona attempted to negotiate an offer with the brilliant winger, it appears that PSG has won Dembélé over, resulting in his surprise move to the Ligue 1 side.

Dembélé joined Barcelona from Borussia Dortmund in a record-breaking €105 million move in 2017. During his tenure, he was instrumental in Barcelona winning three La Liga titles. Meanwhile, Xavi, Barcelona’s manager, regards Dembélé as a vital player, recognizing his sheer contributions to the squad. However, considering the club’s financial status, a large lump sum of the transfer fee from PSG might help the Catalan club overcome its financial difficulties.
