Ousmane Dembélé becomes heir to PSG’s No. 10 Jersey After Neymar’s Exit
Written By: Abidoye Babatunde
The Neymar (31) era at Paris Saint-Germain is over. The Brazilian playmaker has left the French capital to join PIF-funded Saudi Arabian outfit Al-Hilal this week.
More Details
In a rather unexpected turn of events, given Neymar’s injury history, Les Parisiens have been able to recoup some of the record-breaking €222m they paid six years ago. Indeed, it is reported that Al-Hilal’s outlay for Neymar is close to the €100m mark.
The capital club announced on Thursday that Dembélé will be wearing the No. 10 for the foreseeable future. The 26-year-old arrived this summer transfer window from FC Barcelona after PSG triggered his €50 million release clause.
