Posted on December 22, 2021 at 9:30 p.m. by BC As Ferran Torres heads to FC Barcelona, Ousmane Dembélé might not be a stranger to Joan Laporta's offensive for the Manchester City player. For several months now, FC Barcelona has been trying to reach an agreement with the clan Ousmane Dembélé for an extension, as the forward is currently in his last year of contract. If the France international would be willing to stay in Catalonia, his entourage would drag out talks, as several contenders are on the lookout to get their hands on him. In the meantime, FC Barcelona is working on the next winter transfer window, and according to the winter press, the arrival of Ferran Torres is imminent for an amount of € 55M + € 10M in bonus. Two files that could be linked. While FC Barcelona could formalize in the next hours the arrival of Ferran Torres, some Catalan specialists wonder about the ability of Barça to secure the services of the Spaniard in terms of salary. But in the eyes of Toni Juanmartí , the extension of Ousmane Dembélé could unblock the situation. As the Sport journalist explains on Twitter, the express offensive of Barça for Ferran Torres could mean that Ousmane Dembélé has already guaranteed to its management that it will extend its lease. Enough to allow Joan Laporta to obtain the necessary means to recover the player from Manchester City while remaining in the nails of financial fair play of La Liga, since an extension of Ousmane Dembélé would be synonymous with an extension of the amortization period of his transfer. Today, € 27m remains to be amortized, and a new lease of Dembélé at Blaugrana would therefore give more leeway in the transfer market. It remains to be seen whether this hypothesis is confirmed.
