Barcelona’s Battle to Defend Interests in Ousmane Dembele’s Transfer to Paris Saint Germain

Aware that the output of Ousmane Dembele al Paris Saint Germain is unstoppable, he Barcelona now look for the way to defend their interests in the best possible way. And that, in a case like this, translates into money.

And Dembele’s goes to Paris Saint Germain, it will not be for more than 50 million euros. From the club they explain that in their last renewal a “compulsory transfer contract” -they insist on not calling it a clause- by which the player “can choose a club before July 31 to leave for a minimum amount of 50 million euros. In such a case, we would be obliged.”

And that is what happened on July 30, when they communicated it to the Catalan entity. Since then, starts a countdown of five days -until Friday- for Dembélé to communicate the agreement, something that the club expects.

Sissoko’s slice

And that is where the famous percentage allocated to his representative enters the scene. The player part understands that it is 50 percent, as we have published here, but the Barcelona has a very different interpretation. “That percentage was provided for in the contract if a series of situations occurred.” And that, in the eyes of the Barça, has not been given. “This is going to end in a very interesting legal discussion,” they say from the club’s sports management.

“The 50 million thing is clear and now it remains to be seen how they are distributed,” they point out. And that is where the will to negotiate (or not) comes into play, of the PSG. The Parisians are within their right to pay the 50 million nothing more. If the Frenchmen agreed to do the operation with negotiation and not using that clause, a possible legal process would be avoided for the percentage of the agent. Also that the Barcelona assert their right to retain the player until August 21 (something provided for in the contract even if they pay the 50 kilos today).

What is clear is that the payment of the 50 million would be made in full to the Barça and then it would be the club that would have to deal with Moussa Sissoko, footballer’s agent. As for the figure that would compute for the fair-play, “it will depend on what you interpret LaLiga. There is a safe minimum figure. The other, it would be necessary to see how they interpret it”.
