Barcelona winger’s agent has called La Liga to finalise exit before midnight – report

With Ousmane Dembele appearing closer and closer to the exit doors at FC Barcelona, Gerard Romero’s Jijantes FC have come up with a fresh update regarding the Frenchman’s situation.

Over the past couple of days, the rumours of Dembele moving to PSG have fast gained momentum.

The 26-year-old, whose contract expires next year, is understood to have a full agreement with the Parisian giants over a five-year deal.

All that remains to be done is for Dembele’s release clause to be paid with La Liga by the player’s agent or his lawyers, so that he can complete his move to PSG.

Dembele’s release clause with Barcelona stands at €50 million, which will expire at midnight today, with the value of the exit clause set to increase to €100 million from August 1.

There have been suggestions that PSG might be unable to activate the clause before midnight tonight, at which point they would have to pay the €100 million sum or negotiate a fee with Barça.

In order to avoid that scenario, Dembele’s agent, Moussa Sissoko, has called La Liga and spoken with the officials in order to speed up the player’s exit before midnight.

The report suggests that Sissoko wishes to ensure that the 26-year-old’s departure is finalised before 11:59 pm tonight and has asked for all the steps that need to be taken to pay his release clause and secure an exit.

At the same time, however, Dembele is said to be keen on leaving Barcelona on good terms and would prefer if the two clubs negotiated his exit, rather than relying on the release clause.

But, as things stand, the winger’s agent is taking measures to pay the €50 million exit clause and complete his move to PSG, with the coming hours set to be crucial for the operation.
