Ousmane Dembele unhappy with Barcelona contract renewal offer – Football España

Barcelona star Ousmane Dembele looks to be heading for an exit from the club in August.

The French international has become the focal point of a sudden transfer swoop from Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain as they plan for Kylian Mbappe’s possible departure.

Dembele’s current deal in Barcelona expires in 2024, with talks ongoing over a potential extension in Catalonia, as he looks to make a firm decision over his future.

PSG only have until the end of July to activate a €50m release clause in Dembele’s contract which jumps to €100m at the start of August.

Despite being inside the final 12 months of his contract, Barcelona are looking to ensure a fee for Dembele, and PSG are ready to pounce.

As per reports from Catalan outlet RAC1, Dembele has rejected Barcelona’s latest renewal offer, as he wants an annual salary of €6-7m.

The deal remains delicately poised, with Barcelona open to a sale, if Dembele has no intention of remaining at the club beyond 2024.
