The player from France has a 55 million dollar release clause in his Barcelona contract that can be triggered until the end of the month. After that, his clause is up to 110 million dollars.

Barcelona also offered a long-term contract to Ousmane, but the French believe the attacker will prefer their offer.

The Catalan manager Xavi wants the French player to remain in Barcelona, but the head coach also knows that Barca needs money, and nothing is in the Spanish side’s hands because if PSG pays the release clause, it’s up to the player if he wants to join them.
