Hungry for sport, he grew up to the sound of Formula 1 engines and the exploits of Ronaldinho. Today, with a Master’s degree in sports journalism, he no longer misses an F1 Grand Prix or a PSG match, his two passions and specialties.
This summer, PSG carried out a very large renewal of the squad, including a revolution in the offensive sector which saw Neymar and Lionel Messi leave. To compensate for these departures, the capital club recruited no less than five attackers, including Ousmane Dembélé who had an exceptional release clause of €50 million. And the French winger says that it was Nasser Al-Khelaïfi who made the difference.
The summer market du PSG will have been lively, to say the least. Indeed, the capital club has led a real revolution within its workforce by parting ways with several stars including Lionel Messi et Neymar. Departures which were compensated by the arrival of several new attackers like Randal Color, Gonçalo Ramos, Bradley Barcola, Marco Asensio or Ousmane Dembélé.
PSG jumped at the Dembélé opportunity
The arrival of the winger FC Barcelona is also one of the flagship transfers of the summer PSG. It must be said thatOusmane Dembélé had a release clause of around €50 million. An accessible amount for Parisian finances, especially for a player of this caliber who was coming off two very good seasons at Barça. And to complete this transaction, one man was decisive: Nasser Al-Khelaïfi.
Al-Khelaïfi tried everything for Dembélé
Asked in the columns of L’EQUIPE about his transfer, Ousmane Dembélé thus emphasizes the role of the president of the PSG in this file. “PSG and the president (Nasser al-Khelaïfi) have been interested for a long time. Already, when I was in Dortmund (2016-2017), we started to have the first contacts. At that time my goal was to play for Barcelona. There were contacts in 2019 too, then this summer. The president showed again that he really wanted to sign me. I then spoke with the coach and Luis Campos. I immediately liked the project,” assures the Parisian number 10.
