Paris St-Germain Signs Ousmane Dembele from Barcelona

In a surprising move, Paris St-Germain has secured the signature of French forward, Ousmane Dembele, from Barcelona for an astonishing fee of £43.5m (50.4m euros).

This transfer marks another chapter in Dembele’s eventful career. After joining Barcelona in 2017 for a jaw-dropping £135m and notching up an impressive record of 40 goals in 185 games, winning three La Liga titles along the way, he has now found himself donning the colors of Ligue 1 champions.

“I am absolutely thrilled to be part of Paris St-Germain and I just can’t wait to step onto the field wearing my new kit,” said Dembele with great excitement. He further added, “My goal is to continue growing as a player here and make our devoted fans proud.”

The talented World Cup winner had previously signed a two-year extension with Barcelona last year; however, his desire to leave the club appeared evident when confirmed by Barca coach Xavi earlier this month.

Nasser Al-Khelaifi, PSG president expressed his delight on securing Dembele’s services stating that he will be an “important and committed player” for their squad. He praised Dembele’s passion and determination during the signing process which perfectly aligns with what they expect from all their players.

With this surprising move, Paris St-Germain has once again asserted their dominance in the transfer market. What will be Dembele’s impact on PSG’s performance? Only time will tell.
