Al Hilal ready to move for Dembele: the decision rests with the player

Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal club is seriously exploring the possibility of signing PSG forward Ousmane Dembele. The Riyadh-based side is ready to initiate a major transfer, but the fate of the negotiations depends primarily on the decision of the player himself.

Official negotiations between the clubs can only begin if the 29-year-old French forward agrees to continue his career in the Middle East.

Al Hilal is currently waiting for Dembele's response

According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Al Hilal is prepared to take practical steps regarding the transfer of Dembele.

However, the Saudi club wants to know the player's position first. If Dembele is not willing to leave Europe to play in the Middle East league, further negotiations will be pointless.

So far, there has been no information about an official offer being sent to PSG or discussions regarding the transfer fee.

Transfer value around 100 million euros

The Transfermarkt portal estimates Dembele's approximate market value at 100 million euros .

This figure could make a potential deal one of the largest transfers in the history of Saudi football. However, market value does not necessarily reflect the player's exact sale price.

The final sum will depend on the following factors:

• PSG's willingness to sell the player;

• Dembele's personal decision;

• the proposed contract and salary;

• the buyout fee demanded by the French club.

PSG's position in negotiations is strong

Ousmane Dembele's current contract with the Parisian club is until the summer of 2028 .

This means there is no pressure on PSG to sell the player immediately. If Al Hilal is serious about completing the transfer, they may need to offer a significant sum that satisfies the Parisian club.

At the same time, the long-term contract gives Dembele a choice: he can continue playing at a high level in Europe or consider the Saudi option, which could be financially attractive.

The main question — will Dembele agree?

Al Hilal's interest is said to be serious, but the decisive phase of the transfer has not yet begun.

Everything will become clear once it is known whether Dembele is ready to move to the Middle East. If the player gives a positive response, negotiations between Al Hilal and PSG could become one of the biggest events of the summer transfer window.
