PSG on verge of completing Dembele transfer

PSG are reportedly set to sign Barcelona star Ousmane Dembele, but the clock is ticking on a deal.

According to RMC Sport Dembele is very close to signing for the Parisians, who are looking to activate his £43million release clause.

However any potential deal for the 26-year-old would have to be completed quickly with reports suggesting his price is about to sky rocket.

Fabrizio Romano has said that Dembele’s release clause is set to expire on July 31 – only to be replaced with one set at double the price.

The new clause would be £86million, which means that PSG must act fast if they want to secure their man for a cut price.

Barcelona have reportedly tabled a new deal for Dembele, but the Frenchman is yet to make his decision.
The former Borussia Dortmund winger joined the Catalan giants in 2017 for a fee around £120million, but has failed to live up to his price tag.

He managed just five league goals last season and was often used as a substitute by Barca boss Xavi.
PSG will be hoping Dembele can eventually be their Kylian Mbappe replacement as their ongoing saga continues with the superstar.

However reports suggest a deal for the Barcelona man doesn’t depend on the departure of their wantaway forward.
