Posted on November 6, 2021 at 4:30 am by TM For several weeks, Joan Laporta has been negotiating the extension of Ousmane Dembélé. A file that could well be unlocked thanks to Xavi. It's now official since Friday, Xavi is the new coach of FC Barcelona . In recent hours, the Catalan club had visited Qatar to negotiate with Al Sadd , who eventually struck a deal to release the Spaniard. Xavi will therefore now make his comeback at Barça with the mission of putting the Catalan club back on the right track. And for that, he already seems to have ideas and knows which players to lean on. Xavi is counting on Dembélé! At Barcelona, Xavi could in particular give an important place to the game on the sides. For that, it will be necessary to have the good wingers. If Ansu Fati is there, his leaning on the other side should be Ousmane Dembélé , if he is done with his injuries. But the Frenchman can in any case count on the support of Xavi . Indeed, according to information from Catalunya Radio, the new Barça coach intends to rely on Dembélé . An important role that could well convince the former Borussia Dortmund to continue the adventure at Camp Nou, who is currently on the end of his contract. Skip back to main navigation
