At present, Ousmane Dembélé is heading straight for a free departure from FC Barcelona at the end of the season as his contract will expire on June 30. However, the Catalan club obviously wishes to avoid this scenario and is doing everything possible to convince him to initial a new engagement while reducing his emoluments. And present in front of the press this Friday, Xavi was completely transparent on the subject, explaining that he really hopes that Ousmane Dembélé will extend to FC Barcelona soon. “I made him understand how important he was to me” “I had a one-to-one discussion with him, I made him understand how important he was to me, not only for this season but also for the future. It's up to him to decide. I hope he can renew his contract because he is a player capable of making a difference in the years to come. I'm talking to him, I don't know his entourage, it's up to him to decide, ” Xavi told a press conference in remarks reported by Mundo Deportivo. Skip back to main navigation
