A shocking news has just shaken the entire European football world when PSG star Ousmane Dembélé suddenly “slipped up” in an interview revealing that a close teammate – the player who helped him win the Ballon d’Or – is about to move to Manchester United in the winter transfer window.
In a conversation with a French sports TV channel after training, Dembélé was asked about the internal situation of the team and his relationship with his teammates. No one expected that in just a few seconds of carelessness, he accidentally created the biggest media storm of PSG since the beginning of the season.
“We won every title together here, from Ligue 1 to the Champions League. He was even the reason I won the Ballon d’Or… But now he is thinking of leaving. I don’t understand what he sees in Man United,” Dembélé said, with a look of frustration and regret.
The statement immediately stunned the entire studio, and the host could only exclaim: “You mean… who?”
But Dembélé just smiled faintly and replied with a short sentence:
“Ask the coach. He knows better than me.”
Just a few minutes later, social media exploded. PSG fans, sports journalists, and even Manchester United supporters rushed to find the mysterious identity of the “£80 million star” that Dembélé was talking about.
According to sources close to Le Parisien, the player that Dembélé was referring to is said to be an attacking pillar with a transfer value of around £80 million, and had a private conversation with Manchester United coach Rúben Amorim just a few days ago.
A member of PSG’s coaching staff revealed anonymously:
“That conversation is no longer a rumor. He actually spoke to Amorim on the phone. It seems United are ready to pay a large sum to get this signature before the season enters its fiercest phase.”
Dembélé, after realizing his words had “blown like a bomb”, hurriedly left the training ground and refused all media questions. However, the damage was done – and PSG fans were not hiding their anger.
One comment on Twitter read:
“Dembélé has just destroyed everything. If this deal is real, PSG have lost not only a star, but also internal confidence.”
Meanwhile, in Manchester, sources from The Athletic claim that Rúben Amorim has “green-lighted” the blockbuster deal, seeing it as “the perfect piece” to return United to their glory days.
A journalist close to the club confirmed:
“Amorim doesn’t want a loan player. He wants a permanent contract – and this is the player he has been following for the past 6 months.”
Interestingly, just a few hours after the interview went viral, Dembélé’s social media account was suddenly temporarily locked, further fueling the belief that he had inadvertently revealed PSG’s top secret.
In that context, Red Devils fans are eagerly awaiting the first “explosion” of the transfer under Amorim’s reign. A major United fanpage even posted a status that is going viral:
“If Dembélé is telling the truth, Man United are about to make the most shocking signing of the decade.”
As for PSG? Perhaps they are living in the most chaotic days since Mbappé left Paris.
And as a veteran journalist for L’Équipe remarked tartly: “When your players talk more than the sporting director – that’s when you know a real storm is coming.”
