Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain are in discussions over the transfer of Ousmane Dembélé, who requested to leave the LaLiga champions this summer. Initially, PSG planned to pay the €50 million buyout clause, but Dembélé rejected this and urged both clubs to negotiate a mutually satisfying fee. Although the buyout clause has now doubled to €100 million, there is optimism for a deal close to the initial amount. Dembélé's agent would have received €25 million if PSG had proceeded with the buyout option. Xavi tried to convince Dembélé to stay, but PSG's interest has altered his plans, potentially impacting Barcelona's transfer strategy.
