PSG Enquires About Premier League Goal Machine Amidst Dembele Uncertainty

Paris Saint-Germain have sounded out Manchester City about the availability of Erling Haaland as uncertainty grows over the future of Ousmane Dembele, TEAMTALK understands.

The French champions are braced for a major squad shake-up after a stuttering campaign that has left them second in Ligue 1 and forced them into a Champions League playoff against Monaco, where they recovered from two goals down to win 3-2.

Dembele, last season’s Ballon d’Or winner, has managed only one Champions League goal and is yet to reach double figures domestically. After last weekend’s 3-1 defeat at Rennes he publicly rebuked his team-mates, saying “you cannot win by playing individually,” prompting manager Luis Enrique to brand the comments “worthless” and warn that “I will not allow any player to think they are more important than the club.”

With the 27-year-old winger’s form in sharp decline, PSG sporting staff have begun canvassing the market for marquee replacements. Sources say the Parisians have made “discreet enquiries” about Haaland’s contractual situation at the Etihad. Although the Norway striker’s deal is registered until 2034, it is believed to contain a release clause that would shatter the current world-record transfer fee.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are already positioning themselves for a future move, yet PSG’s financial muscle—demonstrated in previous blockbuster deals—means they are prepared to outmuscle the Spanish giants should a bidding war erupt.

Haaland, 25, has plundered 330 career goals for club and country and remains the fastest player in Premier League history to reach the 100-goal mark. PSG view the prolific front-man as the centrepiece of a long-term project designed to deliver the Champions League crown that has eluded the Qatari-owned club since its 2011 takeover.
