President of FC Barcelona, Joan Laporta was keen to continue to show his confidence in the extension of Ousmane Dembélé's contract while the Catalan press has already announced that the Frenchman is getting dangerously close to a free departure from any contract at the end of the season.
And if all hope were lost for the FC Barcelona management regarding the contract extension of Ousmane Dembélé ? Bound until June 30, 2022, the French world champion is therefore likely to have free agent status and sign in one of the clubs interested in his profile. And that’s the direction the operation appears to be heading in light of information leaked by SPORT on Wednesday. The Catalan daily confided that Dembélé had a foot and a half outside, his agents demanding a salary for their client that FC Barcelona would not be willing to offer. What to put an end to the soap opera Ousmane Dembélé? Not quite according to the words of President Joan Laporta .
“This is a slower process than one would have hoped, but”
“He is a very important player. He can give us a lot more than he has been able to do so far and if he continues to play here he could become a real benchmark. Its extension? It's a slower process than one would have hoped, but we are still working on it. ” Joan Laporta said during an interview with Cadena COPE.
