A source close to the negotiations told AFP on Friday that the extension of Paris Saint-Germain’s contract with international winger Ousmane Dembélé, the 2025 Ballon d’Or winner, until 2030 is progressing in the right direction, although a final agreement has not yet been reached.
According to the same source, talks between the Parisian club and the French forward are characterized by a highly constructive and positive tone, with both sides expressing a shared desire to reach a quick agreement.
The source added that negotiations are advancing well, but some outstanding issues still need to be resolved.
Dembélé joined Paris Saint-Germain in 2023, and the club holds a contract with him until June 2028. The 29-year-old player, who is currently sidelined with a thigh injury, is primarily seeking to improve his salary.
The club’s Spanish manager, Luis Enrique, recently described the former Barcelona player, in an interview with Paris Saint-Germain’s media outlets, as the “heart of the team.”
Meanwhile, according to another source familiar with the negotiations, the club has been holding talks for several months with Georgian international winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who is suffering from a serious knee injury, to extend his contract beyond 2029.
At the beginning of the season, specifically on September 5, Paris Saint-Germain announced contract extensions for Enrique until 2030, his compatriot Fabián Ruiz until 2028, Ecuadorian Willian Pacho, Portuguese João Neves, Brazilian Lucas Beraldo, and Senegalese Senny Mayolo until 2031.
