Overview
- Ousmane Dembélé’s camp has begun renegotiations with PSG, seeking a substantial pay increase following his Ballon d’Or win.
- His contract runs until summer 2028 and, according to L’Équipe, contains no clause that awards a raise for winning the Ballon d’Or.
- PSG is willing to lift his salary but will not reach the levels once paid to Neymar or Lionel Messi, reflecting a shift away from past megadeals.
- Sporting advisor Luís Campos is enforcing a balanced wage policy to protect squad harmony, which could make discussions cautious in the coming weeks.
- Dembélé’s leverage stems from a breakout 2024–25 season reported at 35 goals and 16 assists, capped by a leading role in PSG’s first Champions League title.
