The love story between FC Barcelona and Ousmane Dembélé is far from being a long quiet river. Debauched at Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2017 to compensate for the departure of Neymar, the French winger has never reached the level of the Brazilian. With no less than twelve injuries that made him miss 658 days of competition (95 matches), the native of Vernon also had a lack of impact and efficiency in the Catalan game. His last season is encouraging with 11 goals and 5 assists in 44 games, but once again, we are left unsatisfied.
Arriving at the end of the contract in June 2022 with FC Barcelona, the question of an extension has long been asked. If the will of FC Barcelona has long been oriented around an extension of the contract of the 24-year-old Frenchman, the latter has studied the possibility of leaving free. A first offer was made a few weeks ago, but it was refused by the Ousmane Dembélé clan. Since then, FC Barcelona has been putting pressure on the player.
One or two more years for Ousmane Dembélé!
Finally, the interests of the different parts of this file could be found there according to the latest indiscretions of Sport. While we were in a closed situation not long ago, the Dembélé clan as well as the leaders of FC Barcelona have come closer. The former Borussia Dortmund player is finally on the verge of extending his lease according to Catalan media and an agreement could be reached in the coming days. The tendency would even be optimism on the side of the staff of the Blaugranas.
Ousmane Dembélé could thus accept an extension of one or two years, either until 2023 or in 2024. A beautiful thing for FC Barcelona if this is confirmed since it will not be subject to seeing his winger leave for free in next june. Ousmane Dembélé would also be ready to accept a slight drop in salary. This is not negligible in a context where it is time for savings on the Camp Nou side.
