PSG’s Bold Move: In preparation for their plan, PSG has splashed the cash to secure the signings of Ousmane Dembele and Goncalo Ramos as Mbappe’s replacements. Both deals were rapidly negotiated and are set to be completed in the coming days.
The Dembele Deal: Barcelona’s coach Xavi admitted to the possibility of Dembele’s departure. He shared, “Dembele has told us that he wants to leave. I am a bit disappointed about it. We tried to keep Dembele, but we couldn’t. He is determined to leave. PSG made an irresistible offer, and we couldn’t refuse it. I asked Dembele about the reason for wanting to leave Barcelona, but he did not answer. I guess it’s for personal reasons. If Dembele leaves, I will be very sad. Nevertheless, we will soon find a replacement for him.”
It is reported that PSG is willing to pay €50 million to release Dembele from his contract (after August 1). Hence, Barcelona has no say in this matter.
The Goncalo Ramos Deal: Moreover, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, PSG is further spending €80 million to sign striker Goncalo Ramos from Benfica. The player showcased his talent during the 2022 World Cup when he replaced C. Ronaldo in the Portuguese national team.
The contract between Goncalo Ramos and PSG is set to run until June 2028, as disclosed by the transfer insider. This deal is expected to be finalized within the week.
PSG’s Stance: With these two signings, PSG no longer seems dependent on Mbappe. The PSG management is highly disappointed with the French player’s attitude and is actively seeking to sell him immediately to recoup their transfer investment.
The Mbappe Deal: PSG has set a price of €250 million for the Mbappe deal. However, numerous sources suggest that Real Madrid intends to negotiate and reduce the fee for the acquisition of the French forward.
As PSG strengthens their squad with the signings of Dembele and Goncalo Ramos, they seem determined to bid farewell to Kylian Mbappe. The stage is now set for Real Madrid to negotiate the final terms of Mbappe’s potential move, and all eyes are on the high-stakes transfer showdown between the two giants of European football.
