The atmosphere in the Paris Saint-Germain camp is not very calm. Officials of the Paris club are concerned about the extension of Lionel Messi’s contract, as well as finding a solution if the Argentine leaves the Parc des Princes.

Ousmane Dembele, the ideal option to replace Lionel Messi

The other day, FC Barcelona officials said that they began to increasingly analyze the possible return of Lionel Messi to Camp Nou.

This only caused panic at Paris Saint-Germain, who are not sure if the new World Cup winners will stay in Ligue 1 next season.

If Lionel Messi will consider the possibility of accepting the offer of another club, then the reigning French champion has already considered a possible replacement for the Argentine star.

Ousmane Dembele is PSG’s top priority should Lionel Messi decide not to extend his deal with the Parc des Princes formation, according to reporters at El Nacional.

In addition, PSG would also have an advantage if they decided to sign Dembele.

The source said Dembele will only have a €50m release clause this summer, provided Barcelona paid at least €140m when they signed him from Borussia Dortmund.

Despite often missing out through injury, Ousmane Dembele managed to score 40 goals and provide 41 assists in 178 appearances for the Catalans.

According to Transfermarkt, Dembele’s market share is €60 million.
