Ousmane Dembélé still remembers the phone call from Luis Enrique

In 2023, Ousmane Dembélé chose to leave FC Barcelona to return to France and sign for Paris Saint-Germain. A decision that the French international does not regret since he has won everything with the Rouge-et-Bleu, including a Ballon d’Or in 2025. Moreover, the native of Vernon always remembers the phone call from Luis Enrique who convinced him to come to Paris.

“It was important to sign for Paris Saint-Germain. I spoke with Luis Enrique, who had wanted me for a long time and whom I know well. And, of course, with the president and the sports director. And it was an excellent decision when you see what happened at Paris Saint-Germain over the last three years, and I’m happy with it. (…) Yes, I remember it very well (the phone call from Luis Enrique, editor’s note). I was on tour in Los Angeles with Barcelona when Luis Enrique called me. He explained to me his plans, his vision of my role and how he envisaged our future together at Paris Saint-Germain. His words immediately convinced me”he told Marca.
