Dembélé's Financial Demands Hinder His Contract Renewal Negotiations
The contract renewal negotiations of French star Ousmane Dembélé with Paris Saint-Germain are at a standstill due to his high financial demands, raising doubts within the club about resolving the matter in the near future, according to the website "Foot Mercato."
Dembélé is going through a sensitive phase in his journey with Paris Saint-Germain, as his contractual future has become a top priority following a historic season in which the Parisian club won all possible titles, including the UEFA Champions League, where the French winger played the role of the main attacking leader.
According to the same source, Paris Saint-Germain made an initial offer at the end of last year to renew Dembélé's contract worth close to 30 million euros annually, but the player rejected it, seeking to double that amount, which created a clear financial gap between the two parties, especially since his current contract extends until 2028.
Despite this setback, Paris Saint-Germain is handling the matter calmly, as there is no immediate pressure due to the contract duration, with the management aware that it might have to make significant financial concessions if it wants to keep its star.
On the sporting front, despite Dembélé suffering two injuries, his level at the beginning of 2026 was strong, after scoring in the Paris derby and being decisive in the French Super Cup, which strengthens his position in the renewal negotiations, while continuing to deliver impressive performances in the French league.
