Posted on December 29, 2021 at 2:30 p.m. by The editorial staff At the end of his contract next June, Ousmane Dembélé has still not extended with FC Barcelona. Nonetheless, Joan Laporta and Xavi are said to continue to push for the Frenchman's extension, despite some internal disagreements regarding the matter. As since last summer, Joan Laporta are working hard to secure the extension of Ousmane Dembélé. The Habs international is out of contract next June and has yet to make any decisions about his future. Wanting at all costs to avoid seeing the Frenchman go free at the end of the season, Joan Laporta is said to have made the 24-year-old's record almost a priority. Thus, despite the suitors present for Ousmane Dembélé , the president of FC Barcelona would not let go of anything. As Mundo Deportivo explained on Wednesday, Joan Laporta and Xavi would continue to press for the extension of Ousmane Dembélé . The president of FC Barcelona is said to be very attached to the player and is convinced that he wants to stay at Barça but that he has not given a definitive answer because of the pressure he would receive from the part of his agents and his entourage, who would demand a change of air. The feeling of Joan Laporta would be shared on the side of Xavi . The Blaugrana coach is said to say that Ousmane Dembélé has a good place in the club’s future, as the last matches of FC Barcelona have shown. To be able to extend the commitment of the 2018 world champion, the Catalan management would therefore seek solutions and they might have found one. Also according to information from Mundo Deportivo, FC Barcelona could decide to offer Ousmane Dembélé a short-term contract, which would not last more than two years. This would leave the player free to decide for his future when he turns 26 and receive a signing bonus if he joins a new club. For their part, Barça management could well make an economic case since the new contract of Ousmane Dembélé should be adapted, in terms of payroll, to the delicate situation facing FC Barcelona in recent times. Moreover, the rest of what is to be amortized from his signing in 2017 would be spread over several years, which would make the extension of Ousmane Dembélé 's commitment even more priority. . However, the Habs international would not be particularly popular with FC Barcelona . Despite the enthusiasm of Xavi and Joan Laporta in the file, some internal voices believe that it would be better to let Ousmane Dembélé go and do not chase after your agent if no answer is given in the next few weeks. While the month of January, a period when Ousmane Dembélé will be free to negotiate with whomever he wants, is fast approaching, the future of the French at FC Barcelona is still very uncertain. To be continued.
