PSG on verge of completing Mbappe replacement transfer but have just three days to trigger star's release clause | The Sun
PSG are reportedly set to sign Barcelona star Ousmane Dembele, but the clock is ticking on a deal.
According to RMC Sport Dembele is very close to signing for the Parisians, who are looking to activate his £43million release clause.
However any potential deal for the 26-year-old would have to be completed quickly with reports suggesting his price is about to sky rocket.
Fabrizio Romano has said that Dembele's release clause is set to expire on July 31 – only to be replaced with one set at double the price.
The new clause would be £86million, which means that PSG must act fast if they want to secure their man for a cut price.
Barcelona have reportedly tabled a new deal for Dembele, but the Frenchman is yet to make his decision.
