El Clasico Pre-Season: Ousmane Dembele’s Last Appearance for Barcelona?

This Saturday night, Barcelona faces Real Madrid during their pre-season tour in the United States, and Ousmane Dembele is expected to play a significant role.

The Frenchman remains a key player for Barcelona, and he will likely be relied upon to challenge Real Madrid’s defense.

Although it’s a friendly match, El Clasico is always fiercely contested, and this edition is no exception.

There are reports suggesting that this could be Dembele’s last appearance in a Barca shirt, as he has allegedly agreed to a five-year deal with Paris Saint-Germain, the champions of Ligue Un. The deal needs to be finalized before Monday, which is the last day his release clause is €50m. After July 31, it increases to €100m.

If the transfer goes through, it would be disappointing news for Xavi ahead of the new La Liga season. However, it could help facilitate a possible move for Joao Felix to Barcelona, as the money from Dembele’s deal would make it financially manageable for the club.

With only 48 hours left to complete the transfer, PSG has limited time to handle all the details, making the player’s willingness to move crucial in finalizing the deal.
