The French international striker, Ousmane Dembélé, should be presented this Saturday as a new player for PSG.
End of suspense! Ousmane Dembélé will indeed be a PSG player. The French international has satisfied his medical examination and initialed his contract with the champions of France in the process. His transfer became official this Saturday morning.
Dembélé presented at the Park this Saturday?
Dembélé’s contract with the Ile-de-France team is for five years. His arrival cost the trifle of 50 million euros in Paris, which makes him the second most expensive defector of the summer behind the Uruguayan midfielder Manuel Ugarte. He will have a lot of pressure on his shoulders, especially if Kylian Mbappé leaves, but that’s not what’s on his mind right now. “I am very happy to join Paris Saint-Germain and can’t wait to play in my new colours, he confided. I hope to continue to grow here and make all Club lovers proud. »
Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the club’s president, was among the first to welcome this acquisition: “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 is the attitude required for all our players. We are proud to have another French World Cup winner at Paris Saint-Germain as we enter a new great era for our Club. »
Dembélé will wear number 23 with PSG. He may present his new tunic when he is presented to the public at the Park before his team’s match against Lorient in the league.
Dembélé thus makes his return to Ligue 1, seven years after leaving it. At the time, he joined Borussia Dortmund, where he only stayed for a year before moving to Barça. On the Camp Nou side, he will therefore have made a six-year stint, signing 40 goals in 185 matches.
The 2018 world champion is the 9th defector of the summer for PSG. Behind Manuel Ugarte, it was he who cost the Ile-de-France residents the most. He is also the third reinforcement in the offensive sector after Marco Asensio and Gonçalo Ramos.
