We can already say that we have a story that will mark the last day of the transfer window.Longtime rivals but also two teams that have a history of swapping players – Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain – are back at the negotiating table. This time the topic is Ousmane Dembele.The French winger saga could finally unfold. Barcelona recently told him they do not count on him and that it would be better for him to leave the club because he will not play if he stays until his contract expires in June. The Frenchman and his manager initially rejected the idea of leaving in January and wanted to wait for the summer, but later it became clear that the best solution was to accept the club’s ultimatum. It was speculated that Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham were interested in Dembele, but there were no official offers coming from the Premier League greats.Sun 18:15: (2.40) Barcelona (3.25) Atl.Madrid (3.30)Paris Saint-Germain was interested in Dembele in some previous transfer deadlines, but this January the Parisians left the impression that they don’t need him now and that they are not in the game to bring him. However, in the last few days, contacts have been established between the director of the French club Leonardo and Dembele’s agent Mousa Sissoko. PSG, however, expressed a desire to see Dembele in their ranks and the green light came from the player and the agent.Negotiations between Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain are now underway. The Catalans insist on the compensation of 22.5 million USD, even though the player entered the last six months of the contract. On the other hand, Barça paid 160 million USD for him four and a half years ago – now they want to get at least something out of his away transfer. Of course, with the removal of his high salary from the budget.Transfer deadline day: Dembele to PSG; Auba to Barca? Follow all the transfer news hereIt is known that Barcelona and PSG are not on good terms and that they were battling over players during almost every transfer window – but they were also forced to do business. There are reasons why this Dembele deal would suit everyone in this story: Barça would of course get rid of Dembele and not lose him for nothing, Dembele would get a chance to revive his career and play in his homeland, PSG would get a player who might be Kylian Mbappe’s successor if injuries bypass him.Also, there is an option for PSG to include Mauro Icardi in the negotiations instead of money, as the French side wishes to see the Argentine’s back also. Icardi grew up in the Barcelona academy and the club is now looking for a center forward and a player with such a profile would suit them. Provided that Icardi lowers his financial demands.##EDITORS_CHOICE##An epilogue awaits Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, who told Barcelona that he would drastically reduce his salary and practically agree to “play for free” until the end of the season, just to escape from Arsenal. He knows that his arrival depends on Dembele. Only in case the Frenchman leaves Camp Nou in the next little more than 24 hours, Barça have the possibility to bring Auba, with whose arrival coach Xavi agreed.
