Saudi clubs are reportedly planning to present an outrageously tempting deal to PSG to sign Frenchman Ousmane Dembele in the next summer transfer window.
While the scenario remains hypothetical at this stage, it is being closely monitored in Paris as interest from the Saudi Professional League gathers momentum behind the scenes. Having previously lured global icons such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, and Karim Benzema, Saudi football is now reportedly setting its sights on another marquee name.
According to Sky Sports, league officials are actively working on a major plan to attract the PSG forward during the next summer window, shortly after the 2026 World Cup, which will be hosted in the United States, Canada, and Mexico from June 11 to July 19.
The timing is said to be strategic, with preparations already underway to present what has been described as a substantial financial package.
Saudi representatives are believed to have begun preliminary procedures aimed at convincing the 2025 Ballon d’Or winner to consider a move.
The objective is to make a decisive push during a summer window viewed as crucial, particularly with several high profile contracts nearing expiration, including Karim Benzema’s deal with Al Ittihad, amid speculation of a possible return to Europe.
At 28, Dembélé is entering the prime of his career. His strong performances for Paris Saint-Germain, combined with his importance to the French national team, have elevated his status on the global stage. With ambitions of lifting a second World Cup next summer, his sporting priorities remain clear, even as speculation around his future grows.
Dembélé is currently under contract with PSG until 2028, and there have been no public comments from the player suggesting an imminent departure. Nevertheless, activity behind the scenes points to rising interest, as Saudi Arabia continues its drive to retain elite talent, attract global attention, and further cement its league as a major force in world football.
