From a €50 million gamble to the 2025 Ballon d’Or winner, Ousmane Dembélé has become the face of the new PSG — a team that’s more collective, more disciplined, but still just as electric. Yet behind the smiles and goals, another battle is brewing: his contract.
After a record-breaking season, Dembélé’s camp believes the World Cup winner now deserves a salary worthy of the world’s best player. But PSG, scarred by the excesses of the Messi-Neymar-Mbappé era, refuses to break its new wage structure. “PSG won’t give in or disrupt its hierarchy,” revealed Jérôme Rothen.
“As long as I’m hungry, I’ll stay at PSG”
On the pitch, Dembélé continues to do the talking. Coming off the bench against Leverkusen, he scored in the 7-2 demolition and celebrated his 100th appearance in style. “I feel good, I’m getting back my rhythm. As long as I’m hungry, I’ll stay at PSG. Scoring for my 100th game means a lot, and I hope to keep going like this,” he said after the match.
With 44 goals and 33 assists in 100 games, Dembélé’s numbers speak for themselves. But one big question remains: will PSG reward their Ballon d’Or winner — or stick firmly to their new principles?
The next clash won’t be on the pitch. It’ll be fought in the boardroom.
