A Dembélé problem at PSG, Arsenal seize the opportunity

 Nothing is going smoothly anymore between Ousmane Dembélé and PSG. According to Canal+, the Ballon d’Or winner is frustrated by the recent management of his playing time, to the point that an uneasy atmosphere is beginning to form around the Parisian forward.

Is the love story between Dembélé and PSG coming to an end? The hero of the 2024/25 season, crowned with the Ballon d’Or and The Best trophy after leading Paris to their first Champions League title, Dembélé is experiencing a far more complicated campaign. Two muscle injuries slowed him down, and since his return, his usage has raised questions.

A Growing Disagreement Over His Role

According to Canal+, the disagreement clearly concerns his status. Dembélé feels ready to string together starts, but Luis Enrique is taking a cautious approach. A symbol of this tension: just 15 minutes of playing time in the Intercontinental Cup against Flamengo, a decision the player has struggled to accept.

Dembélé to Arsenal? The information was denied by PSG Inside Actus on X, but some sources claim that Arsenal are monitoring the situation. Mikel Arteta is looking for a left winger or a number 9, and Dembélé’s versatile profile ticks all the boxes. Enough to fuel rumors and further weaken a relationship that seemed idyllic just six months ago. However, PSG and Dembélé have weathered other ups and downs, and nothing suggests the rift is irreparable.
