The reigning Ballon d'Or winner is said to be unhappy at PSG, with the club unwilling to meet his astronomical 60m-a-year contract demands, according to Fichajes. There has also been talk of Dembele falling out with PSG manager Luis Enrique, as per TEAMtalk, who linked the Ligue 1 giants with a move for Manchester City striker Erling Haaland as a potential replacement.
They believe that he could be the ideal long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah. Salah is expected to leave at the end of the season. Meanwhile, Dembele is demanding a contract worth around 60 million annually. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool can afford that kind of money. The player is reportedly keen on a move to England and wants to prove himself in the Premier League. The opportunity to join Liverpool will be extremely appealing for him.
Lionel Messi voted for former Barcelona teammate Ousmane Dembelé as The Best FIFA Men's Player of 2025. Paris Saint-Germain winger Dembelé received the award on Tuesday in Doha, Qatar, after edging out Barcelona teenage sensation Lamine Yamal. Dembelé's France teammate Kylian Mbappé of Real Madrid was the other finalist. Previous winner Messi selected his ex-PSG teammate Mbappé as his second choice. Yamal, who inherited Messi's iconic Barcelona No. 10 jersey, was the Argentinian's third pick.
I'm not going to take any credit from Ousmane! He's a phenomenally talented footballer who's worked incredibly hard to get where he is, Jacobson smiles. Whether it was his idea or the manager's at Paris Saint-Germain to switch him from playing wide to playing in the middle, but the way he's adapted to that, he's thoroughly deserving of the Ballon d'Or and hopefully he'll still have time to play Football Manager!
The email came from a creative advertising agency and the proposal was a potential collaboration in which Gardner would be paid if he was willing to act, in secret, as a social media influencer on behalf of Ousmane Dembele, the Paris Saint-Germain forward. We are exploring a one-month campaign designed to spark dialogue and strengthen the narrative around Ousmane Dembele's candidacy for the Ballon d'Or, the email explained.
"It's sad for Ousmane and for Desire, of course, because of their injuries, and we're losing two important players for tomorrow's match," Deschamps told reporters on Monday. "But we did things in a professional and progressive way, as we always do with all the players, taking into account their own feelings."
Following a cycling accident on Friday, Paris Saint-Germain head coach Luis Enrique was treated by the emergency services and will undergo surgery for a fractured collarbone, the club said in a statement. The club expresses its full support and wishes him a swift recovery. Further updates will be shared in due course. Because of the international break, PSG's next game is on 14 September at home to Lens, and three days later they host Atalanta to open their Champions League title defence.
WROCLAW, Poland -- Ousmane Dembélé limped off the field injured while playing for France in World Cup qualifying on Friday, just 12 days before Paris Saint-Germain begin the defence of their Champions League title. Dembélé went on as a substitute for the second half of France's 2-0 win against Ukraine and lasted less than 35 minutes. He left with what seemed to be a right hamstring injury, walking to the bench with his right hand pressed to the back of his right thigh.
