It is already a fact that Ousmane Dembélé will be a Paris Saint-Germain player in the next few hours. The French striker will sign his contract for the next five seasons and will leave Barcelona in exchange for 50 million euros. The club will get a cut for a figure higher than the 25 million of which were previously estimated.

One of the players that appeared on the radar in the last hours was the name of Joao Félix, who a few weeks ago assured that his first option is always Barça and that it is a dream that he has had since he was a boy. Obviously, these statements fell very badly at Atlético de Madrid and that is why they will let him go to the club that offers what they request.

What the mattress team wants is a loan that has a considerable charge and also has a purchase option to get rid of it permanently. With the departure of Dembélé from Barça, a rumor arose that he appeared as one of the options, but finally the Portuguese was ruled out, according to the journalist Helena Condis.

Will they look for a player of the same position?

The Frenchman was the most destabilizing that Xavi had on his squad. However, with the change in scheme to now only use two forwards, he suggests that he already has the place well covered with Robert Lewandowski and the rest of the attackers who can move around the wings. For this reason, they would allocate that money to the right side, the first option is Joao Cancelo.
