Of course, as it has become known, the two teams will also discuss some amount that is not provided for in the agreement, since the Catalans want to get something more to give him away. Something that will perhaps make it easier for Paris as well, since it will be able to deposit the money in installments, and not directly, which is required when the said clause is activated.

In the summer of 2017, the Catalans pulled off the ultimate transfer bombshell as they bought Dembele from Dortmund for €135m. But frequent injuries and difficult adaptation led the Frenchman to not deliver as expected. To date, the talented winger has scored 40 goals, has 43 assists in 185 appearances in all competitions.

In fact, a few days ago the French international winger or midfielder reportedly rejected a legendary offer from the Al Nasr team that Cristiano Ronaldo plays for. Saudi Arabian clubs seem to be truly unstoppable in the summer transfer window.

Xavi sees him as key to his plans and has asked president Juan Laporta and director of football Matteo Alemany to keep him at all costs. But the money offered by Paris is a balm for Barcelona's suffering coffers, while at the same time the player asked the Catalans to negotiate his transfer to Paris. In Barcelona, you see, they can't give him the €7m net annual salary offered by Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
