Why Ousmane Dembélé staying put could cost Barcelona another €30m | OneFootball

Ousmane Dembélé’s appearance against Alaves in LaLiga cost Barcelona €5m and the may have to part with another €30m should he play more games.

The Frenchman played his 25th game for Barcelona on Saturday which triggered a €5m payment to his former club Borussia Dortmund.

However, still owing another €30m, it is understood the Catalan giants are happy to sell the winger this summer according to the Daily Mirror.

PSG are said to be keen on his signature while Arsenal also held an interest before the Premier League transfer window closed.

Mundo Deportivo claim the Spanish champions, who signed Dembélé for an initial €108m in 2017,  will cash in on the 21-year-old should they receive an appropriate offer.

As part of the deal to sign him, Barcelona agreed to a €5m every time the player made another 25 appearances upto 100 and more expense should they qualify for and win the Champions League.

Rather than continuing paying extra for Dembélé, they are reportedly keen to sell him to free up funds for a move for Paul Pogba next year.
