Ousmane Dembélé looks set to remain at Paris Saint-Germain for the long term. Despite a start to the season marked by an unusual return to action and some tensions with Luis Enrique, the Parisian club wants to extend the Ballon d’Or winner’s deal beyond his current contract.
The agreement has not yet been finalized, but the most important point appears settled: Dembélé wants to stay and PSG want to keep him. Both sides are in favor of an extension, with negotiations expected to resume after the transfer window closes. According to Fabrice Hawkins, PSG want to offer the French forward one or two additional years, potentially extending his contract until 2029 or 2030.
PSG Still Counting on Dembélé
The timing is significant after several eventful days surrounding the former Barcelona player. Dembélé cut short his holidays to return to the squad earlier, but he has since endured a difficult start to the season both physically and in terms of performances. At Rennes, Luis Enrique substituted him at half-time after an underwhelming first half, a strong decision that was reportedly followed by a tense discussion between the two men.

PSG ultimately decided to give the forward several days off, meaning he is expected to miss the trip to Lille before returning to training on Monday. The break was agreed with the player and is not a disciplinary sanction. The club mainly wants Dembélé to recover after his rushed return and an especially demanding previous season.
The tensions with Luis Enrique have therefore not changed Dembélé’s status or his future in Paris. On the contrary, PSG now want to secure their Ballon d’Or winner for several more seasons. An extension until 2030 would firmly confirm Dembélé’s central role in the club’s long-term project.
