Extended until June 2024 at the end of a very long series, Ousmane Dembl benefits from a very special contract with FC Barcelona. To convince him, the Catalan club had to make some pretty incredible concessions.
Dembl extended until 2024 with FC Barcelona.
The FC Barcelona transfer window is quite difficult to decipher. While it finds itself in a difficult financial situation, the Catalan club has recorded the arrivals of Raphinha (67 M€ bonus included), Jules Kound (55 M€ bonus included), Robert Lewandowski (50 M€ bonus included), Franck Kessi (free) and Andreas Christensen (free).
A few days before the resumption of La Liga, the Blaugrana leaders find themselves in an impasse since they must free up funds estimated at several tens of millions of euros to register their recruits. That didn’t stop them from doing other crazy things… with another player.
A very high salary for Dembl
This other player is Ousmane Dembl (25). After five generally average years, marked by recurring injuries and unprofessional behavior, the French winger has decided to extend for two more years, until June 2024, with the Barcelona team. An agreement reached after several months of intense negotiations which tensed up a lot of people. But in the end, the world champion got what he wanted.
According to information from Sport, the player recruited at Borussia Dortmund has a substantial salary. While there was initially talk of compensation based on his appearances and performances, the Blue will now receive 16 million euros gross per year. The French international can even claim 4 million euros in additional bonuses with this new contract. A sacred extension for a player who has for some time been considered a plague.
Dembl could recover €50m
But the Catalan daily went even further in its revelations. Thus, Dembl saw the club set his release clause at €100m. Nothing out of the ordinary so far, especially for a player who finished top provider in La Liga playing half a season. Except that Dembl’s agents were very strong in the negotiations by allowing their protege to recover 50% of this sum if a club were to lift this clause. What facilitate its extension. And with a smile.
