Al Hilal have begun preliminary talks to secure the signing of Ousmane Dembélé, aged 28, from Paris Saint-Germain during the upcoming summer transfer window, as reported by journalist Sacha Tavolieri. The Saudi Arabian club is eager to make a major impact in the transfer market and has identified the French winger, a past Ballon d’Or winner, as a key target.

Following the acquisition of Crysencio Summerville from West Ham United, the Saudi Pro League giants are now looking to strengthen their attacking line further by adding the French international to their squad. Early discussions are already underway with representatives of the former Barcelona forward regarding a potential move. If Dembélé expresses interest in joining, direct negotiations between the two clubs are expected to follow.

However, despite Al Hilal’s strong interest, Paris Saint-Germain are hesitant to part ways with Dembélé. The 28-year-old has become an essential figure in Luis Enrique’s attacking setup, and the Ligue 1 champions are reportedly keen to extend his stay at Parc des Princes with a new long-term contract.
