Monthly salary exceeds 1.5 million! L Equipe: Dembele s contract has no Ballon d Or clause, Paris refuses to pay Messi-level salary

An article in "Team" revealed that the current contract between Dembele and Paris Saint-Germain does not have a "Golden Ball clause".

Although some people say that Dembele's contract contains a "Golden Ball" clause worth millions of euros, which was common practice when he played for Dortmund and Barcelona. However, the senior management of the Paris Club thought this statement was "whimsical" and asked: "Do you think he could have imagined that he would win the award when he came?"

It is reported that Paris sports director Campos and Dembele's agent Sissoko had met after the award ceremony. Dembele hopes to significantly increase his salary. In addition to his personal data and Ballon d'Or honors, his negotiating chips also include his key role in helping to mediate conflicts between coach Enrique and the locker room in the fall of 2024.

But Paris has a tough stance. The club want to control the pace of negotiations and emphasize that the Ballon d'Or is the result of a "collective effort" to counter the idea that Dembele deserves a special and significant pay rise.

More importantly, affected by the Financial Fair Play Act and the decline in television rights revenue, Paris made it clear that it would not provide him with a maximum salary similar to Messi or Neymar (the annual after-tax salary was about 30 million euros at the time), and was determined not to repeat the same mistakes and pay fines.

The club admits that Dembele's current salary (monthly salary before tax exceeds 1.5 million euros, the highest in the team) is not consistent with his new status, and the game between the two parties has now begun.
