The Ousmane Dembele transfer saga, which started last weekend, is expected to come to an end in the next few weeks, with the 26-year-old closing in on a move to Paris Saint-Germain.
PSG will pay €50m to Barcelona as part of the deal, although they won’t retain the full amount, with a portion going towards Dembele and his agent, although this amount is yet to be specified.
According to Esport3, Dembele’s sale will allow Barcelona to put €20m towards Financial Fair Play, which is much-needed given their financial issues.

Dembele’s sale should also allow Barcelona to re-invest funds back into the transfer market. They are looking to sign a new right-back, with Joao Cancelo appearing to be their primary target.
Barcelona will be very disappointed to have lost Dembele, although his sale does come at a good time, as it should also allow them to register their new signings ahead of the start of the new LaLiga season.
