# Ousmane Dembele Joins Paris St-Germain from Barcelona for £43.5m
Paris St-Germain have completed the signing of France forward Ousmane Dembele from Barcelona for £43.5m (50.4m euros). The 26-year-old has signed a five-year contract with the Ligue 1 champions.
Dembele joined Barcelona from Borussia Dortmund for £135m in 2017 and scored 40 goals in 185 games, winning three La Liga titles and two Copa del Rey trophies during his time at the club. The 2018 World Cup winner also signed a new two-year contract at Barcelona last year before deciding to move to PSG this summer.
Speaking about his move to the French capital, Dembele said: “I am very happy to join Paris St-Germain and can’t wait to play in my new colours. I hope I can continue to grow here and make all the club’s fans proud.”
PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi added: “The passion and determination shown by Ousmane as he has signed for PSG is fantastic and perfectly corresponds to the attitude required of all of our players.”
Dembele played in the World Cup final in December but a thigh injury meant he missed most of the second half of the season as Barca won the title. He has been capped 37 times by France, scoring four goals, and is PSG’s ninth signing of the summer transfer window.
