The next month ofLa Ligatransfers will heavily impactBarcelonaandReal MadridasOusmane DembeleandKylian Mbappepotentially move on.
The French pair are both in the final year of their contracts with Dembele’s extension talks atBarcelonastalling and Mbappe ready to leaveParis Saint-Germainif a Ԁєɑł is agreed.
Dembele is more open to a possible dramatic stay in Catalonia, but Mbappe has no intention of remaining in Paris, with a rumoured 2024 free transfer switch to Madrid effectively agreed.
PSG are racing against the clock to activate Dembele’s €50m exit clause, before it rises to €100m at the start of August, with their interest increasingly in recent days.
If the French giants complete a move for long term target Dembele, the focus will temporarily switch away from Mbappe, but the Les Bleus captain will be quickly back in the spotlight.
Dembele arriving at the Parc des Princes will be another boost to PSG’s post-Mbappe ρłɑɴningand encourage the club to engage in talks withLos Blancos.
With Mbappe refusing to consider a move to Saudi Arabia,PSGhave little option but to sit down withReal Madrid,with the Spanish superpower setting their spєɴԀing ceiling at £198m (€230m).
While Barcelona have no interest in helping Real Madrid’s pursuit of Mbappe, selling Dembele will inadvertently help their age old El Clasico rivals, asPSGcontinue to strengthen amid the Mbappe storm.
The power remains with Mbappe andReal Madrid, withPSGresigned to building a stronger and deeper squad, which Dembele will provide, and allow the Parisians to ease their depєɴԀency on Mbappe.
Barcelona stand to lose the most in a possible transfer domino scenario, with Dembele’s form a key factor in their 2022/23 La Liga title win, but a move to Paris has always looked to be on the cards for the former Borussia Dortmund winger.
