Tensions between Paris Saint-Germain and FC Barcelona have escalated over the impending transfer of Ousmane Dembélé. The capital club triggered the 26-year-old’s release clause €50 million fee.
Various reports suggest that discussions continue between Barcelona and Dembélé’s agents regarding the distribution of the transfer amount. As a result, there’s been a delay on the Spanish club’s part to send proper documents to complete the winger’s medical.
The transfer saga surrounding Ousmane Dembélé has taken a dramatic turn, with PSG openly criticizing Barcelona’s handling of the situation.
Sports Zone reports that PSG officials have expressed amusement and disdain at the Catalan club’s conduct, labeling it deplorable.
The French club remains set on acquiring Dembélé’s services. Additionally, PSG is reminding their Spanish counterparts of a crucial clause that could see the winger leave as a free agent if certain conditions are not met promptly.
