Dembélé’s tense wait

The soap opera that Ousmane Dembélé is living has not yet come to an end. After communicating his desire to leave Barcelona, ​​undergo a medical examination with Paris Saint-Germain and seal his relationship with the French team for five seasons, the French winger has had to return to training with Xavi Hernández’s team. A rarefied atmosphere has been found there and there is a tense wait for both the footballer and the Barça club, which continues to delay sending the transfer as a pressure measure to be able to enter more money for his transfer.

«I am disappointed with Dembélé. We have asked him the reason why he wants to leave and he has not been able to answer, “said Xavi during the tour of the United States, when asked about the French winger. The departure of the 7th was imminent and the Egarense coach did not hide his discomfort that day and he has not been able to hide it in his first days in Barcelona. And it is that there he has met, to his surprise, the French striker, forced to train with the rest of his teammates while waiting for his transfer to PSG to be final.

Certainly, the case of Dembélé clouds the Barcelona concentration a few days after the league debut. The player has been complying with all the steps stipulated in his contract and only needs the agreed 50 million euros to be paid, something that cannot happen until the culé club sends the player’s transfer to Paris Saint Germain.

This document is slowing down the outcome of the operation, it could be a measure of pressure on the part of the culés, and it is the only pending obstacle to put an end to a soap opera that could go on even longer, since the entity chaired by Joan Laporta has until on August 21 to say yes and send the documentation.

The main reason why Barcelona, ​​which only has thirteen registered players at the moment, is torpedoing the operation is the distribution of those 50 million euros. The Barcelona club, with Mateu Alemany as head of operations, is not satisfied with the fifty percent that belongs to the footballer for the transfer and believes that an agreement could be reached so that this percentage decreases considerably. For now, he has made the footballer return to training under Xavi’s orders and thus delay his start-up with PSG, where Dembélé would prefer to be with his future teammates and where Luis Enrique awaits him like rain in May to make him a fundamental piece of your new project.

While waiting for the outcome of this operation, there are several protagonists affected in one way or another. Ansu Fati considers that the departure of Dembélé could allow him to have more opportunities to earn Xavi’s trust, but he listens to the siren songs coming from Paris, where Luis Enrique considers that his signing is a unique opportunity.

The other player pending what happens with the Mosquito is Neymar. The Brazilian has always wanted to return to Barcelona and the domino effect caused by the departure of Dembélé is an opportunity to knock on the door and offer a signing that summer after summer is in the orbit of the Catalans.

Joao Félix also returns to the scene, who declared his love for Barça a couple of weeks ago, but it has not yet been reciprocated. Opinions are divided among the Catalans, since the Atlético striker does not fully convince Xavi, but Joan Laporta, who had him in mind for a long time. The tactic is to wait until the market is close to closing and the colchoneros lower their claims to achieve a transfer for 15 million plus amortization or a transfer of around 100 million.

A family Gamper

Meanwhile, Barça will seek to close the pre-season this Tuesday by giving a good image to their fans. The team led by Xavi will play the Joan Gamper Trophy against Tottenham in a Lluis Companys game that the Catalan fans still don’t like at all.

Only 17,000 fans have requested their registration in the subscriptions and the forecast for the duel against the ‘Spurs’ does not seem rosy either. Not even the discounts for the purchase of tickets of 50% for subscribers or 40% for residents of Catalonia have raised a public that has not yet assimilated his provisional departure from the Camp Nou and forced landing on the mountain of Montjüic.
