PSG have presented Ousmane Dembele with a contract offer worth a staggering €17 million per year, according to respected Barcelona journalist Toni Juanmarti.
The French champions have also offered the Barcelona star a significant signing-on bonus to move to Paris.

Juanmarti adds that Dembele has not responded to PSG so far, leading the Parisians to request that he give them an answer in the next 20 days before they remove their offer.

When does Dembele’s contract expire?
Dembele’s contract at Camp Nou expires at the end of the season and he has rejected all offers of a renewal.
Barcelona president Laporta had been very keen for the winger to pen a new deal. However, negotiations collapsed at the start of 2022 as Dembele was unhappy about the club offering him a paycut while spending €55 million plus €10m in add-ons for new buy Ferran Torres.
Barcelona, meanwhile, complained that Dembele was asking for too much money, with reports that he demanded €240m in order to sign a new contract at Barcelona.
The relationship between Dembele and Barcelona then deteriorated, with the club trying to push him into either signing a new contract or leaving in January.
In the end, Dembele stayed put and he has been reintegrated into the team over the last few months, playing exceptionally and linking up superbly with January signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Dembele’s entourage have reopened contract talks with Barcelona, and it is believed that the winger would like to stay if possible.
However, it is also understood that Barca are not prepared to meet Dembele’s salary demands.
Thus a summer Bosman Transfer still looks very possible, with PSG the favourites to sign him.
