Ballon d’Or Winner’s Camp Pushes for €60M+ Per Year Amid Salary Standoff with Paris Saint-Germain.

Ousmane Dembélé

Paris Saint-Germain face a major contract standoff with their star forward Ousmane Dembélé, as the 28-year-old Ballon d’Or winner is poised to reject the club’s initial extension proposal.

According to reports from Foot Mercato and RMC Sport, PSG have tabled an offer worth around €30 million per year to extend Dembélé’s current deal, which runs until June 2028. However, the French international’s representatives are demanding nearly double that amount—closer to €60 million annually—leveraging his status as the 2025 Ballon d’Or recipient.

Dembélé’s remarkable 2024-25 campaign saw him deliver 33 goals and 15 assists in 49 appearances, helping PSG secure a historic continental treble, including their first-ever UEFA Champions League title with a dominant 5-0 final win over Inter Milan. His performances earned him the Ballon d’Or in September 2025, making him the first PSG player to claim the prestigious award.

PSG are eager to retain the former Barcelona winger, who joined in 2023 for €50.4 million, but the club is cautious about breaking their new wage structure under sporting advisor Luís Campos. They aim to balance the squad’s finances while rewarding key talents, but Dembélé’s elevated status post-Ballon d’Or has created a significant gap in expectations.

The situation remains fluid, with negotiations ongoing alongside talks for teammate Bradley Barcola. Dembélé’s camp believes his world-best status justifies a top-tier salary, while PSG prioritize long-term squad harmony.

This standoff could have implications for Dembélé’s future at the Parc des Princes, especially as he looks to regain full form after recent injury setbacks in the 2025-26 season.
