Kylian Mbappe was the central figure of the transfer window in the previous month, but in the last days of July, he was removed from the first place by his French teammate Ousmane Dembele. And as things stand, he could stay on it for a longer period of time because even though his buyout clause worth 50,000,000 euros expires tonight at midnight, there is every chance that the negotiations between Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona will go into August.Verbal agreement between Ousmane Dembélé and Paris Saint-Germain is confirmed — sealed since Sunday late night on five year deal. 🔴🔵🔒Dembélé said yes, as revealed overnight.It’s on PSG and Barça to find the way — Liga €50m clause set to expire in 8 hours… or another way. pic.twitter.com/zUROWKbB3i— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) July 31, 2023 In just a few hours, the French champion will be able to get the fast-footed winger at a low price because, after midnight, the price of the buyout clause will increase by double – from 50,000,000 to 100,000,000 euros. The Parisians are ready to finish the job by the end of the day, but the problem is their transfer target – Dembele. The popular ’Mosquito’ wants to go to the Parc des Princes but does not want to do it at the expense of Barcelona. Because let’s remember, if his clause is activated by the end of the day, Barcelona will only receive half of the total amount – that is, 25,000,000 euros – while the rest would go to the player and his agents, as was agreed upon during the last contract extension negotiations last year.Barca in fear of tomorrow midnight, the players and Xavi begging Dembele to stayLast summer, Barcelona was cornered, Dembele managed to ’sneak out and was a free agent for two weeks, so the Catalans weren’t in a good negotiating position, and they had to agree to the aforementioned solution. However, although he negotiated such benefits for himself together with his agents and agreed to a five-year contract with Paris Saint-Germain, the 26-year-old footballer does not want to leave the club where he spent the previous six seasons, and according to Marca, he will not agree to activation of the clause. In La Liga, any player who wants to leave has to formally activate the clause (such is the rule), and then the club which wants to acquire him will pay the sum, but Dembele will not do it. He wants the clubs to negotiate the sum so the Catalans get a fair price. Boom, boom, boom! Barca make a statement El Clasico win on the US soilAs the Madrid newspaper further states, Dembele informed the sports sector of Barcelona, led by Mateo Alemany and Jordi Cruyff, about his decision about a month ago. Instead, the Frenchman asked the leaders of the Nou Camp to negotiate with Paris Saint-Germain and try to find the best solution for all parties. Of course, it would be best for the Parisians if they bought him for the mentioned 50,000,000 euros, but it seems that they will have to do everything the hard way this summer. First with Mbappe, now with Dembele…##NAJAVA_MECA_7400473##
