Paris Saint-Germain has announced the signing of French international striker Ousmane Dembélé, who will join the club on loan for one season starting from July 1st. The news comes after months of speculation about the future of Dembélé, who had been linked with several European clubs including Manchester United and Real Madrid. The 22-year-old is expected to provide a boost to PSG's attacking options, given his experience and ability to score goals in both the Premier League and La Liga. Dembélé was born in France but played most of his youth career at Barça before moving to Germany to join Borussia Dortmund in 2017. He made over 200 appearances for the German club and scored 66 goals, earning himself a move to Barcelona in 2019. However, his time at Barcelona was not without controversy, and he left the club in January this year after falling out with manager Ronald Koeman. Since then, Dembélé has struggled to find regular playing time,Football Full Service and he decided to leave Spain in search of more opportunities elsewhere. PSG have signed Dembélé on a five-year deal with an option for another two years, meaning that he will be with the club until 2024. The club has also agreed a loan deal with Dortmund for €5 million ($5.8 million) plus bonuses, which means that Dembélé will be able to play for PSG while still being paid by Dortmund. Dembélé is expected to make his debut for PSG against Nice on Saturday, where he will team up with former Barcelona teammate Neymar Jr. The pair have already shown glimpses of their potential together, with Neymar scoring twice in just three games since joining PSG last month. Overall, the signing of Ousmane Dembélé marks a significant coup for Paris Saint-Germain, who are looking to build upon their impressive run in the Champions League this season. With his talent and experience, Dembélé could prove to be a key player for the club in the coming years. |
