At Barça, Ousmane Dembélé has erupted once more. Frenchman was the attacking player with the greatest differential, according to Xavi Hernández, whose efforts are now beginning to pay off. The Blaugrana club is aware that his renewal is a tactical move, and they will begin to work as soon as the calm and collected January market concludes.
To avoid tensions like those that occurred last season, Dembélé wants to stay at Camp Nou, thus an agreement should be reached before the start of the upcoming campaign.
After a very tough negotiation that almost resulted in him sitting on the bench, the French winger ultimately decided to extend his contract with Barça. Despite the fact that the player became available in June, it was Xavi who chose to sign him, and his response was crucial in getting Dembélé to agree to stay with the Blaugrana.
Furthermore, despite the fact that other teams were interested in signing him, he did not have a strong offer in Europe. He increased their connection in a minimal agreement that needs to be revisited right away for everyone’s peace of mind.
The deal for Dembélé expires in 2024. He just agreed to a two-season extension with a 50 million euro termination clause to continue playing for Barça without any significant commitments. His environment agreed to pay him far less than what was expected in the hopes that his performance would propel him to demand a raise or agree to a bid from an outside club before 2024. He is in this situation right now.
Relations between the footballer’s agent and the sports department of the Blaugrana club have improved, and it is obvious that Dembélé wants to play at Barcelona for a very long time. He is communicating with his teammates and the coaching staff in this way.
And Barça is aware that the moment will have come to negotiate a renewal in February with the goal of achieving a deal before the start of the upcoming season. They do not want Dembélé’s contract to expire without being renewed as he enters his last year.
Barça will need to come up with creative solutions to extend the Frenchman’s contract because Xavi has done everything in his power to tie him up permanently. The pay cap prevents rises in chips practically without exception, and throughout the summer, things will get much more challenging.
The club is aware that this is a strategic renewal and will offer every option, but if the Frenchman declines, all stages will reopen in June if any teams are interested in paying for a move.
