In discussions with Paris Saint-Germain for an extension, Ousmane Dembélé cannot reach an agreement with his leaders. The French striker comes up against the “salary cap” mentioned by its president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi. But the situation could quickly change.
« We have a policy at the club, a salary cap for the players, everyone knows it and respects itindicated President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi on Tuesday on Canal+. The team and the club are more important than anyone. » The message is addressed directly to Ousmane Dembélé and his entourage, confirms Fabrice Hawkins. “ When we see this statement, it is an invitation to revise our pretensions downwards, or to moderate them significantly.reacted the RMC journalist. I don’t know how they will receive it. »
We will listen to Nasser Al-Khelaïfi again…
– Fabrice Hawkins
The player’s clan may not like it. But for our colleague, the boss’s warning should be taken with a grain of salt. “ It is also a speech for the occasiontempered the transfer window specialist. What happens in the coming weeks will be very important on this issue. His celebrations every time he scores make me think he wants to silence his detractors. If Ousmane Dembélé has an exceptional second half of the season, which he wants and he has started the calendar year rather well, and if the results follow, we will listen to Nasser Al-Khelaïfi again and I think that the salary cap will be reviewed… »
« I don’t think Ousmane Dembélé wants to match Kylian Mbappé’s old salary. What does Nasser Al-Khelaïfi mean when he talks about salary cap? I didn’t know there was a ceiling number. In fact, the salary cap will be determined by their negotiations », announced Fabrice Hawkins, not at all sure that Paris Saint-Germain will stick to its positions if the French international reproduces his performances from last season.
