Contract extension for Dembélé at PSG? Enrique labels rumors about negotiations as ‘fake news’

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) coach Luis Enrique dismissed rumors of player contract talks as ‘fake news’ aimed at undermining the French giants.

“Right now, people are trying to destabilize us from the outside with fake news,” Luis Enrique told a news conference on Sunday.

PSG have reportedly begun contract extension negotiations with Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembele, Bradley Barcola, both out of contract in June, and several other players, according to two sources close to the talks.

These discussions “require a lot of thinking from the club, the players, the agents and the families, like every year,” one of the sources said.

«We know what we want, that’s the most important thing. In that sense we are calm,» said Luis Enrique.

“It is normal to have negotiations… But it is private and it will remain private.

«We know what we want, that’s the most important thing. In that sense we are calm,» the Spaniard added.

Luis Enrique spoke on Monday on the eve of the French cup match with city rival Paris FC.

Dembele was on track as PSG defeated Paris FC last weekend as the French capital enjoyed its first top-flight derby since 1990.
