In a significant move, Ousmane Dembélé has donned the coveted No. 10 jersey for Paris Saint-Germain, having made the switch from Barcelona. The transfer deal, amounting to €50.4 million (£43.5 million), has been finalized, marking a new chapter in the young forward’s career.
The Rise of Ousmane Dembélé: Ousmane Dembélé’s football journey began at Rennes, where he made his debut during the 2015-16 season before moving to Borussia Dortmund. His talent soon caught the eye of Barcelona, who secured his services for €105 million along with additional clauses in a five-year contract in 2017. Over the course of 185 appearances, Dembélé managed an impressive tally of 40 goals and 43 assists.
International Glory and Transfers: Dembélé’s prowess extends to the international stage as well, being part of the French national team that clinched the 2018 World Cup and making it to the finals in 2022. Joining the ranks of new signings Marco Asensio, Milan Skriniar, Lee Kang-in, Hugo Ekitike, Lucas Hernández, and Manuel Ugarte at PSG, Dembélé adds to the squad’s diverse talents. PSG underwent a managerial change in July, appointing former Barcelona and Spain national team coach, Luis Enrique, following the departure of Christophe Galtier.
Aiming for Glory: With a determined focus on clinching their 12th consecutive Ligue 1 title, PSG sets ambitious goals for the upcoming season. Nasser al-Khelaifi, the club’s president, expressed his enthusiasm about Dembélé’s acquisition, stating, “We are proud to bring another French World Cup champion to Paris St-Germain as we embark on an exciting new era for our club.”
As Dembélé steps into the illustrious No. 10 jersey for Paris Saint-Germain, fans and football enthusiasts alike eagerly anticipate his contributions to the team’s pursuit of triumph in the league and beyond.
