PSG Reportedly Initiates Secret Talks to Sign Manchester City Star Erling Haaland Amid Dembele Tensions

Paris. European champions Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have reportedly started secret discussions with the plan to bring in Manchester City's star striker Erling Haaland. A new debate has started in the football market after PSG showed interest in Haaland's future despite his long-term contract with City.

PSG has joined the race, especially as Spanish clubs Barcelona and Real Madrid are preparing to take him to Spain by activating the 'release clause' in Haaland's contract. According to PSG sources, the club is continuously monitoring Haaland's situation.

Although Haaland is currently committed to City, this Parisian club appears vigilant for any potential future transfer. Interestingly, this interest in Haaland is not linked to the strained relationship with the club's other winger, Ousmane Dembele. However, the tension between Dembele and the club has caused a major stir in Paris.

After the defeat against Rennes, Dembele questioned the mentality of his own teammates. His comment that personal interests dominate the team greatly angered coach Luis Enrique.

Enrique called Dembele's statement 'worthless' and warned that no player can be above the club. This dispute reached its peak when Dembele was substituted just half an hour into the Championship League match against Monaco. The situation for Dembele in the team has become even more precarious after his replacement, Désiré Doué, delivered an excellent performance, securing a 3-2 victory for PSG.

Amid this clash between Dembele and the coach, mediators have reportedly started looking for a new club for him. Due to his high salary and transfer fee, only a few clubs can afford him. It is understood that preliminary contact has already been made regarding Dembele's transfer with Premier League giants such as Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Chelsea.
