According to a statement by PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi to Canal+ (via RMC), Ousmane Dembele is in talks to renew with PSG, but no breakthrough has been made, and the club will not be forced to meet his demands. Dembele is the highest-paid player at PSG and has been offered a new deal that sources say is consistent with others at the club. Arsenal are in a position to sign Ousmane Dembele and are monitoring the situation. SciSports' Career Advice tool suggests a switch to Arsenal would be the optimum move for Dembele if he were to decide to push for a move away from PSG to the Premier League. There is no prospect of a January deal. Dembele's Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) is €96.8 million and he is under contract at PSG until 2028.

Arsenal is reportedly considering shifting their focus to Ousmane Dembele following his impressive season with Paris Saint-Germain. Mikel Arteta plans to assess Dembele's performance further during the Champions League semi-final between Arsenal and PSG. In addition to Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United are also recognized as major admirers of Dembele. PSG is keen on securing a new contract with Dembele, but Arsenal might propose a significant offer to persuade PSG into a sale. Dembele still has three years left on his current contract, and PSG might ask for a fee close to €100 million. This season, the Frenchman has achieved his highest productivity, scoring 32 goals in 42 matches across all competitions. Arsenal's interest stems from their requirement for a proven enhancement in their attacking lineup, as they prepare to strengthen their team for a Premier League title bid and Champions League success. How Dembele performs in the forthcoming semi-final could be crucial in deciding Arsenal's pursuit, as his estimated transfer value has increased by over 50% in the past six months.
