Ousmane Dembele responds to Manchester City transfer rumors amid ongoing PSG contract discussions.

Reports of his agent’s meeting spark speculation, keeping his future under scrutiny.

Paris Saint-Germain winger Ousmane Dembele has addressed growing speculation surrounding his future, firmly playing down rumors linking him with a move to Manchester City. The French international’s comments come amid increasing uncertainty over his long-term stay at PSG, despite his contract running until 2028.

Transfer buzz intensifies after agent meeting

The speculation gained traction after reports emerged that Dembele’s agent, Moussa Sissoko, was seen in Madrid meeting with Manchester City’s sporting director Hugo Viana.

The sighting sparked immediate rumors of a potential high-profile transfer, with the Premier League champions reportedly eyeing the 28-year-old as a key addition to their attacking lineup under Pep Guardiola.

However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano later clarified that the meeting did not involve negotiations for Ousmane Dembele. Despite that, the incident has kept PSG officials alert, as they aim to secure the future of one of their most valuable players.

Ousmane Dembele responds to contract uncertainty

Amid the swirling rumors, Dembele addressed the situation during a recent press conference, offering a calm and measured response regarding his future.

"There’s no reason not to extend," he said. "But I’m not the one making the decisions; the discussions about my contract are between the club and my agent. I haven’t been involved in that since the beginning of my career."

His statement highlights a clear separation between on-field focus and off-field negotiations, with the winger emphasizing that contract matters remain in the hands of his representatives and the club.

PSG focused on securing their star

While uncertainty remains, discussions between PSG and Dembele’s camp are reportedly ongoing. The French club is keen to lock down the winger amid growing external interest, particularly from elite European sides.

For now, Ousmane Dembele appears committed to focusing on his performances rather than speculation, even as the transfer chatter continues to build around him.
