Liverpool Set to Make €100 Million Bid for PSG Star Ousmane Dembele
Liverpool are reportedly preparing a massive €100 million bid to sign PSG star Ousmane Dembele, just days after their Champions League elimination at the hands of the French giants.
The Reds suffered a heartbreaking penalty shootout defeat to PSG at Anfield on Tuesday following a 1-1 aggregate score over two legs in the Round of 16. Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones both saw their penalty attempts saved by Gianluigi Donnarumma, ending Liverpool’s European campaign.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot believed his side did enough to win the second leg despite the 1-0 defeat, stating: “Over 180 minutes, maybe it was deserved that we went to overtime. In overtime, I thought that PSG was a bit better than us.”
Several PSG players impressed during the tie, including:
- Khvicha Kvaratskhelia
- Bradley Barcola
- Vitinha
- Ousmane Dembele
According to Sky Sports Germany, Liverpool are planning for an ‘exciting’ summer transfer window, with Slot looking to reshape his squad. Spanish outlet Fichajes now reports that the Merseyside club is preparing a substantial €100 million offer for Dembele, who scored PSG’s equalizing goal at Anfield.
Dembele’s Career Renaissance at PSG
The 28-year-old French winger is currently enjoying arguably the best season of his professional career. Dembele has been in exceptional form, scoring 21 goals since the beginning of 2025, establishing himself as a potential Ballon d’Or contender if PSG continue their Champions League progress.
This isn’t the first time Liverpool have shown interest in Dembele. The timeline of their previous interest includes:
- 2018: Jurgen Klopp publicly expressed interest in signing Dembele after hearing he might be available from Barcelona
- 2020: Spanish media reported Dembele would be receptive to an Anfield move
- 2021: Reports suggested Liverpool were in talks to sign him on a free transfer
Despite these past connections, no transfer to Liverpool ever materialized. The winger instead moved to PSG, where he has revitalized his career after struggling with injuries during his Barcelona tenure.
| Dembele’s Contract | PSG Valuation | Liverpool’s Reported Bid |
|---|---|---|
| Until June 2028 | More than €100M | €100M |
While Liverpool’s €100 million offer would represent a significant investment, Fichajes reports that PSG values Dembele considerably higher, particularly given his current form and long-term contract situation. Nevertheless, the French international could potentially serve as an ideal replacement for Mohamed Salah, should the Egyptian star decide to leave Liverpool when his contract expires.
Dembele has shown during the Champions League tie that he possesses the pace, creativity, and goal-scoring ability to trouble Premier League defenses. His direct style and improved end product make him an attractive option for Liverpool’s attacking line.
