Dembele’s agent meets Manchester City manager in Madrid

The Spanish newspaper “Sport” revealed a secret meeting that took place in the Spanish capital, Madrid, between Moussa Sissoko, the agent of the French star Ousmane Dembélé, and Hugo Viana, the sporting director of the English club Manchester City.

The newspaper explained that this move by the “Citizens” comes after the team’s harsh defeat against Real Madrid in the Champions League, as the English club seeks to strengthen its ranks with major deals.

“Sport” indicated that the meeting discussed the files of several players whose businesses are managed by Sissoko, led by Dembélé and his Paris Saint-Germain teammate Desiree Doue, in addition to the rising talent Elie Junior Karroubi.

According to the same source, this meeting comes at a sensitive time when the Saint-Germain administration is delaying extending Dembele’s contract due to his high financial demands.

Although the Parisian club is currently adopting a policy of patience, the appearance of pictures of the player’s agent with City officials may represent a powerful means of pressure to speed up the resolution of the future of the French “Ballon d’Or,” or perhaps the beginning of a resounding transfer deal to the English Premier League in the next Mercato.
