Paris Saint-Germain have opened talks over a contract extension with Ousmane Dembele, despite the Frenchman’s current deal running until June 2028. However, as reported Le Parisiennegotiations may come to a dead end due to the club’s new financial policy.

According to a source, the management of PSG, led by Nasser Al-Khelaifi, is putting forward a common condition to the players negotiating new contracts: a lower base salary with compensation in the form of increased bonuses for individual and team achievements.

This approach is already being used in negotiations with Willian Pacho and Ibrahim Mbaye and is part of the strategy to stabilize the club’s finances.

This model does not suit the 2025 Ballon d’Or winner Dembele, who is prone to injuries and fears the loss of income in case of health problems. According to the data Le Parisienthis very factor can become a fundamental disagreement between the parties, capable of disrupting the agreement.

Journalists draw parallels with the situation of goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, who did not accept similar terms and left PSG in the summer, moving to Manchester City.
