Namely, as reported by Goal, Dembele has a contract with the European champions until 2028, but his future at the "Saints" remains unclear. PSG's management, led by Nasser Al-Khelaifi, reportedly refuses Dembele's demands for a new contract. According to L’Équipe, the club's leaders are instead focused on securing the future of young talents, Xavi Simons and Bradley Barcola. This stance reflects long-standing concerns about Dembele's physical condition. Although winning the Ballon d'Or elevated his status, injuries during the first half of the season continue to cast doubt on his reliability. President Nasser Al-Khelaifi has publicly confirmed the existence of a salary cap, emphasizing that "the interests of the team and the club come first," which many interpret as a direct message to Dembele. Dembele has scored 14 goals and provided eight assists in 31 appearances this season. Transfermarkt estimates his value at 100 million euros. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has long been an admirer of Ousmane Dembele and tried to sign him while coaching Bayern. Media outlets have repeatedly linked the PSG winger with a move to the Etihad Stadium. According to Spanish outlet Sport, Dembele's agent Moussa Sissoko recently met with Manchester City's sporting director, Hugo Viana.
