The fairy tale threatens to end abruptly. According to Canal+, a growing sense of unease surrounds Ousmane Dembélé at Paris Saint-Germain. The cause: the management of his playing time, which the Ballon d’Or winner is finding increasingly hard to accept.
Ousmane Dembélé and PSG: is the rift widening? An absolute idol just six months ago, hero of the 2024/25 season and a key architect of PSG’s first Champions League triumph, Dembélé is now going through a turbulent spell. Hampered by two muscle injuries, the forward has never really rediscovered his rhythm… nor his status.
Tensions over playing time management
The heart of the issue is clear: Dembélé believes he is ready to string together starts, while Luis Enrique prefers to proceed with caution. The symbol of this tension? Just 15 minutes played in the Intercontinental Cup against Flamengo, a decision the player took as a negative signal.
Inevitably, this climate fuels rumors. Despite a denial from PSG Inside Actus, Arsenal’s name is circulating. Mikel Arteta is said to be looking for a versatile attacking profile capable of playing as a winger or a center-forward—exactly what Dembélé represents.
Nothing has been decided, let alone a breakup. PSG and Dembélé have experienced tense periods in the past. But one thing is certain: the perfect idyll of last season already feels distant, and how the coming weeks are handled will be decisive in preventing the crack from becoming a fracture.
