Ousmane Dembélé at PSG, it’s done. The ninth recruit from the capital club this summer. “We are delighted to welcome Ousmane Dembélé to Paris Saint-Germain, where he will be an important and committed player for our Club. The passion and determination shown by Ousmane when he joined PSG is fantastic and corresponds to the attitude required for all our players,” Nasser Al-Khelaifi told the club’s website, in what can be interpreted as a new coded message to the attention of some of its players, in particular those who refuse to extend a contract which ends in 2024…
And the Qatari leader continued: “We are proud to have another French World Cup winner (in addition to Kylian Mbappé and newcomer Lucas Hernandez, editor’s note) at Paris Saint-Germain as we enter a new great era for our Club.” A new era which will begin concretely this Saturday (9 p.m.), at the Parc des Princes, with the reception of Lorient on behalf of the first day of the French championship. It will be without “Dembouz”, who signed for five years and 50 M€ from Barça and will have to wait to make his debut in Rouge et Bleu.
