Posted on November 3, 2021 at 6.30 p.m. by Th.B. While a free departure from any contract was an option in recent weeks, this eventuality would no longer be relevant. Moreover, Ousmane Dembélé could extend his contract at FC Barcelona as early as next week. What if FC Barcelona lost Ousmane Dembélé like Lionel Messi during the last offseason? Namely, free from any contract? This is a possibility that would clearly not be ruled out due to the lack of real progress in negotiations with the Dembélé clan and the leaders of the FC Barcelona as TMW pointed out. Besides, if the world champion did not give a clear answer to the administration Joan Laporta by the end of November about his future, Dembélé may have a similar fate to that of Adrien Rabiot from January to June 2019 at PSG when he had spent half the season in the stands for not having extended his contract at Paris Saint – Germain . However, it would be unlikely to come to that. At least that is what should be learned from the statement by Joan Laporta , president of FC Barcelona, in an interview with SPORT in mid-October. “There is a very good relationship with him, we are discussing with his agent. Ousmane wants to stay. He's a player that interests us a lot. If he can play, it will be fundamental for the team to improve. The coach thinks so. If the injuries respect him, he will be an important reinforcement for this season. He has a contract, he is a confirmed player and he has been with us for several years. We have tried to renew it. We knew he was in the last year of his contract ”. And everything would fall into place for the contract extension of Ousmane Dembélé at FC Barcelona . This Wednesday afternoon, Mundo Deportivo communicated through his journalist Gabriel Sans real progress to report between the different parties within the framework of the renewal of the contract of Ousmane Dembélé. Thanks to the fact that he has agreed to reduce his income, the tricolor world champion would allow his representatives and the leaders of Barça to reconcile their positions on a new engagement. Nevertheless, Dembélé would hope to be able to recover some of the income in question through the inclusion of various bonuses in the agreement in question. The two parties would exchange regularly so that the lease of Dembélé is extended by three more years with an optional fourth. This proposal would particularly appeal to Ousmane Dembélé . And Mundo Deportivo even let it be known that common ground should be able to be found between the two camps before the end of calendar year 2021. Nevertheless, according to the information disclosed by Matteo < strong> Moretto , journalist from Sky Sport, through his Twitter account, everything should be completed by the second week of November. The wish of Dembélé to stay at FC Barcelona would have facilitated the exchanges in the minds of the leaders of Barça so that everything is buckled next week . Negotiations would continue between the parties, and a free departure from any contract now seems to be a long way off…
