Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly withdrawn from the race to sign Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele this summer.
Despite having impressed for the Catalan giants during the second half of the season, Dembele is yet to extend his stay at Camp Nou past the end of June.
While a renewal remains a high possibility, other interested clubs are becoming increasingly encouraged, and PSG have been in that bracket for a number of months.
However, according to Le Parisien, the French giants have opted to end their interest in the 25-year-old due to the imminent appointment of Luis Campos as the club’s new sporting director.

The report claims that Campos does not want to sign a player with Dembele’s injury history and whose commitment has sometimes been doubted during his time at Barcelona.
The alleged development may lead to Dembele now accepting Barcelona’s offer, although a number of Premier League clubs are said to be monitoring the situation.
