Ousmane Dembélé was born on May 17, 1997, in Vernon, France. His mother is Mauritanian-Senegalese and his father is Malian. His parents relocated to France for better opportunities. He is the eldest of three children.
He began his youth career at Évreux FC 27. His mother took him to Rennes to start his football journey at Madeleine Évreux Football Club. His father worked long hours to support his football career. Dembélé is a practising Muslim. He married a Moroccan woman named Rima Edbouche in December 2021. They have a daughter born in September 2022.
He made his professional debut for Rennes and was named Ligue 1 Young Player of the Year in his first season. He joined Borussia Dortmund in 2016 and won the DFB-Pokal in his debut season. He was signed by Barcelona in 2017 for over $122 million. He was signed as a replacement for Neymar. He struggled with injuries during his time at the club.
He joined PSG in 2023 for over $60 million. He won the Champions League with PSG this past season and was named UEFA Champions League Player of the Season. He was part of the French team that won the 2018 World Cup. He played in every game for France at the 2022 World Cup, where they finished as runners-up.
Dembélé has been misunderstood throughout his career. A bizarre newspaper article described him not going to a sex club in Spain with 14 photos of the club he had never visited. Dembélé instead lives a reclusive lifestyle playing PlayStation and watching Narcos with friends.
He was portrayed as lazy and undisciplined during his time at Barcelona. He was criticised for his diet and labelled as a symbol of “all that is wrong.” One chef said he did not have his life in his hands. He was treated like an “urban savage” and undeserving of his wealth.
Dembélé has always been a blank canvas for others to project meaning onto. The turnaround is a good news story but he should just be allowed to be good without having to mean something.
