Today, FC Barcelona is doing everything to extend Ousmane Dembélé. A desire that would not, however, be solely dictated by the sporting side. Explanations.
Back in shape, Ousmane Dembélé plays again with the FC Barcelona . Good news for Xavi , but it does not erase the Frenchman's contractual situation. The world champion is at the end of his contract and concerns are growing about a possible free start at the end of the season. Moreover, from January 1, Dembélé will be able to chat with any club and there are obviously a lot of people there. A disaster that Barça wants to avoid. For Joan Laporta and Xavi , the extension of Ousmane Dembélé is a priority, but according to Mundo Deportivo, there are many other elements to take into account in this case.
An important extension on several levels!
If keeping Ousmane Dembélé is essential for FC Barcelona from a sporting point of view, there would also be a very important economic aspect behind this extension of the French. As the Iberian media explains, extending Dembélé will extend the amortization period of his transfer. Today, € 27m remains to be amortized, so with a new 3 or 4 year contract, that would give Barça more leeway in terms of its financial standing. Therefore, who says more flexibility means more opportunities to attract new players. The extension of Ousmane Dembélé is therefore more important than ever for Barcelona .
