PSG to pay Dembele buyout clause as he pushes to quit Barcelona

Barcelona attacker Ousmane Dembele is ready to leave for PSG.

Ok Diario says PSG intend to meet Dembele's €50m buyout clause today and immediately bring the France international to Paris.

Dembele wants the move to happen and has informed Barca management of his intentions.

The decision is a blow for Barca coach Xavi, who only yesterday expressed confidence of Dembele staying.

Xavi said, "We'll see, in the transfer market you never know. I see him happy and satisfied, if there is anything I think he'll tell us the problem, but basically he's with us and he's happy.

"We can't control the transfer market, there's a clause and these are things for the player to decide on. I think he's settled in well here since he arrived. He has always told us that he is happy, that he is part of the family and that he knows he can make a difference. But as said, anything can happen in the transfer market."
