Paris Saint-Germain is currently negotiating with FC Barcelona over the transfer of Ousmane Dembélé. The capital club has a deadline to secure the 26-year-old winger before the situation becomes messier.
If PSG wants to complete the transfer, the final details need to be ironed out. One is the payment of €50 million that must be paid.
L’Equipe reports that ideally, the Ligue 1 champions want to spread the transfer fee for Dembélé over several years to ease the financial burden on the club.

Nonetheless, this approach is common in high-profile transfers, especially when the buying club faces financial constraints or wishes to allocate funds for other targets.
However, if the Spanish giants decline this option, it will have to be straightforward. Plan B for the French side is to pay the full transfer fee in one go.
The Parisian club is determined to secure Dembélé’s signature and is willing to make the required payment to finalize the deal.
Dembélé’s future remains uncertain, and his decision has reportedly caught manager Xavi Hernandez by surprise. A recent report notes that the Spanish tactician was blindsided by the Frenchman’s decision to leave.
