Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly ready to activate the release clause of a certain FC Barcelona star.
The Ligue 1 champions have already been quite busy in the transfer markert after losing both Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos at the end of last season.
However, it seems PSG are looking to make a surprise move before the start of the season by taking advantage of Blaugrana winger Ousmane Dembele's contract situation.

The World Cup winner's current contract expires in 2024 but the club and player are yet to come to an agreement on an extension, which has seemingly invited interest from other clubs.
RMC Sport have reported that the French giants have decided to activate Dembele's €50million release clause before the deadline on 31 July 2023.

According to Fabrizio Romano, nothing has been activated yet but talks have begun as Luis Enrique looks to bolster his squad even further.
RMC Sport added that should any team fail to activate the release clause before 31 July, it will be doubled €100million thereafter.
Various reports also claim that Barcelona are still keen on offering Dembele a new deal, as coach Xavi Hernandez has been vocal in the past about how important the player is to the team.
