Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele have reportedly agreed to join Paris Saint-Germain this summer after holding talks with the French club.
The France international has entered the final 12 months of his contract at Camp Nou and was talking with Barcelona over a new deal. Xavi’s side wanted to keep him after he became a key figure under the Spanish coach. However, the 26-year-old wants improved wages, so talks between him and Barce have not progressed.
However, according to reports by Italian football expert Fabrizio Romano, Dembele has indicated an interest in singing for Ligue 1 heavyweights PSG this summer.

The French club want to sign him before the end of the month as the 26-year-old has a clause in his contract that would allow him to leave for €50m if it is triggered by midnight on Monday, the end of July, after which the clause doubles to €100m.
PSG could finalise the signing of Dembele by paying his release clause, which is an option now that personal terms are agreed upon.
Per the report, Dembele has agreed to a five-year deal with PSG, with the French club informing Barcelona of the situation.
The two clubs have held talks, and how they develop in the coming hours will determine whether PSG will need to pay the release clause or come to an agreement with Barcelona.
