FC Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele is set to join Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) at the end of the season, according to journalist Hadrien Grenier.
Dembele currently has less than six months remaining on his contract. He will be in a position to leave the Nou Camp on a free transfer at the end of the season.
According to the aforementioned source, there is a verbal agreement between the French winger and the Parisian giants. Dembele will join the Ligue 1 giants on June 30th when his Barcelona contract officially expires.
Ousmane Dembele has had a frustrating time in Spain ever since his €140 million transfer from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2017. The 24-year-old winger has always been hampered by long-term injuries which have denied him any sort of consistency at Barcelona.
Dembele will now be looking to rekindle his promising career in his home country starting from the 2022-23 season.
PSG are expected to be in need of a new attacker heading into the new season. The Parisian giants are highly expected to lose star forward Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid on a free transfer at the end of the season.
There have also been reports (via Football Espana) that Brazilian star Neymar could be sold in the summer transfer window.
The world-record signing has had a disappointing season for PSG and could leave in the next few months despite having a contract until 2025.
Signing Dembele would make sense for PSG. Despite his poor injury record, the World Cup-winning winger is still just 24 years old and has a lot to offer in his career.
On top of that, Dembele will be available on a free transfer which is a risk worth taking for the Ligue 1 giants.
