Ousmane Dembele has given an important reason why he decided to leave Barcelona for Paris Saint-Germain. The France international has made it clear he intends to join the Ligue 1 champions after PSG registered an interest in him in July. Despite Barcelona's attempts to persuade him to stay in La Liga, he chose to start a new chapter in his home country.

The 26-year-old winger has agreed a five-year deal at the Parc des Princes after PSG activated his 50 50 million bid. Dembele sent a thank-you note after his departure from Catalonia, but admitted that the prospect of becoming part of PSG's future plans persuaded him to move on. "I talked to coach and chairman Nasser Al-Khelaïfi and they told me about the project.


Playing in France again excites me, too, ”according to an interview with Telefoot via Marca. Dembele's departure from Barcelona has been eased by the rapid rise of 16-year-old Lamine Yamal in recent weeks as the teenager continues to break records for club and country.
