After trying different sports, Thibault turned to a career as an amateur footballer. When making a choice between becoming a professional footballer and a journalist, the qualities tipped the scales to one side. Here he is now in the editorial team of 10 Sport, after a diploma obtained at the International Institute of Communication in Paris.

If Ousmane Dembélé is still under contract until 2028 with PSG, there is currently talk of an extension for the Ballon d’Or. Indeed, the capital club would like to offer a new lease to its number 10, but we still need to reach an agreement, particularly with regard to Dembélé’s next salary. Should PSG then do something crazy?

On September 22, Ousmane Dembélé received the Holy Grail for a football player: the Ballon d’Or. After PSG’s exceptional season, the Frenchman was thus consecrated. With his new status, he would also like to take advantage of it when negotiating a new contract with the capital club. Indeed, while Paris would like to extend Dembele’sthe latter would be very greedy when it comes to his salary, wishing to be paid what he considers to be fair for a Ballon d’Or.

Dembélé demands €60m per year from PSG?

Will it extend? Will not extend to PSG ? This is therefore currently the question for Ousmane Dembélé. While the negotiations should last a few more weeks, for the moment, it would block the salary level for the 2018 world champion and 2025 Ballon d’Or. Thus, as was revealed by Footmercatothe PSG had made a first offer to Dembele’s up to €30M per year. A proposal refused by the Parisian number 10 who would demand double, i.e. €60M per year.

What future salary for Dembélé?

To see now if the PSG is ready to do this madness. Following the departure of Kylian Mbappéthe capital club wanted to turn the page on XXL salaries. With Ousmane Dembéléwe could therefore witness a nice reverse movement. Should we give in to these €60 million demanded by the Frenchman? Should we offer him even more as was possible with Kylian Mbappé ? Should we ultimately offer him less than €30M or even not extend it? The next few weeks promise to be lively Paris with this file Ousmane Dembélé.

So, what should PSG do about Dembélé’s salary?
