Ousmane Dembélé has changed everything. Arriving as a gamble at €50 million, he is now a Ballon d’Or winner, the most expensive player at PSG, and a symbol of the new project.
Ousmane Dembélé has reached a new level. His sporting explosion now opens the real showdown: that of salary. After his historic season, his camp has demanded a massive pay rise, worthy of his new status. Dembélé no longer wants to be just a key player; he wants to be paid like the number one.
The problem: PSG refuses to return to the salaries of the Messi-Neymar era. The club wants to maintain a strict salary structure, even for the best player in the world. And this is where Jérôme Rothen intervenes, with a statement that changes everything. “I spoke today with the Parisian leaders and Ousmane Dembélé’s entourage. PSG does not intend to yield to the demands and disrupt its salary grid,” he asserts.
Dembélé, departure?
In other words, Paris loves Dembélé but will not give him an unlimited check. The message is clear: there is no question of repeating the mistakes of the past. PSG wants a leader, not a king.
A showdown is emerging between the 2025 Ballon d’Or winner and his own club. And this time, it is not a question of play… but of millions. Could a departure be considered? PSG may well have to ask itself this question in the coming weeks.
