Barcelona has authorized Dembélé to negotiate with PSG, indicating the player’s desire to move to the French capital. As for the Spanish giants, they’ll have a few weeks to replace the winger.
Meanwhile, the Ligue 1 champions likely have found their replacement for Kylian Mbappé. The 24-year-old won’t start the Ligue 1 season, so having Dembélé ready for Matchday 1 is crucial.
