At the end of his contract on June 30 with FC Barcelona, Ousmane Dembélé is divided between a contract extension, a free and open departure in the summer of 2022, and a transfer in January. While Barça is already eliminated from the Champions League, the French striker should opt for a departure at 0 € on July 1.
In the summer of 2017, FC Barcelona suffered a terrible loss. Indeed, PSG struck a big blow on the market by snatching Neymar from Barça. While the Brazilian star had a release clause of 222M €, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi did not hesitate to lift it, after having reached a contractual agreement with the player. To compensate for the departure of Neymar, FC Barcelona offered the services of two players who excelled in their respective clubs: Ousmane Dembélé (Borussia Dortmund) in summer and < strong> Philippe Coutinho (Liverpool) in January 2018. And despite the 270M € spent in total for the two players, Barça never managed to fill the void left by Neymar.
Ousmane Dembélé sentenced to leave because of the rout in the LDC?
Regarding Ousmane Dembélé, he never managed to win at FC Barcelona because of his repeated injuries. A situation that could have caused his departure on several occasions. However, Barça never found a club willing to take on the transfer of Ousmane Dembélé . And after missing several opportunities to sell the 24-year-old striker, the Blaugrana team are now back to the wall because their number 7 will be out of contract on June 30. Thus, to avoid a free and free departure of Ousmane Dembélé , Joan Laporta would try everything to prolong it. However, the Catalan president would not be able to bend the former Borussia Dortmund. And unfortunately for him, the dice would already be cast for Ousmane Dembélé.
Ousmane Dembélé intended to leave Barça freely on July 1?
According to information from Calciomercato.it, disclosed this Thursday, Ousmane Dembélé could not be closer to leaving FC Barcelona. With the elimination of Barça in Champions League, the departure of the French world champion would be even “more probable”. And Juventus would always be in ambush to recruit him freely and for free. In the process, El Nacional went even further. To believe the Catalan media, FC Barcelona would no longer have any chance of retaining Ousmane Dembélé. Indeed, the native of Vernon should leave Barça for 0 € on July 1 when he has decided to leave. In other words, it would only be a matter of time before Ousmane Dembélé announces his decision to take off, and Barça should fail to sell it in January.
