THE BIGGER PICTURE: Dembele is still under contract at Barcelona, meaning that if details of his move to Paris are not finalized in the next few days, he could be forced to continue training with Barca at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper. There is no schedule to introduce himself to fans or an official announcement on the calendar, although the 26-year-old’s medical is now scheduled for Monday (7/8) according to RMC Sporthaving previously been expected to take place on Saturday (5/8).
AND WHAT ELSE: As we speak, the World Cup winner is in Paris, having flown out on Thursday (3/8). However, despite being in the French capital, he has not been able to train with his new team-mates, a development which is sure to frustrate him at PSG.
