Up the optimism with Dembélé

Ousmane Dembélé can say yes and renew for Barça imminently. The Frenchman would thus accept the salary reduction that the club proposed in the last offer and shelve the soap opera with a surprising outcome. To Xavi’s happiness, Dembélé would continue wearing Barça in a sidereal turn to a situation that seemed irreducible when the club even separated him from the team for two games last January. The last friday, Joan Laporta slipped into an off the record with the media at the Camp Nou that if Dembélé continues, he will do so with a 40% salary drop to place himself on the same scale as Ansu Fati. It seemed like one more episode of the propaganda war that both parties have had in recent months, but this time Dembélé could unearth the hatchet and give the definitive yes to its continuity.

The suspicion of the Barça is that Dembélé had everything done to sign months ago with PSGbut that the change of opinion of Mbappe and the earthquake in the club’s organization chart ruined his plan and that of his trusted people. He now he has reconsidered and can say yes to the Barça.
