Present at a press conference this Friday, Xavi spoke of the Frenchman's situation. Ousmane Dembélé is still sowing trouble over his future with Barça . While in the last year of his contract, the 24-year-old is said to still be reluctant to sign a new lease with the Blaugrana, especially under pressure from his agent Moussa Sissoko . Consequently, Ousmane Dembélé will be able to negotiate with the clubs of his choice from January 1, 2022, as part of a free start at the end of the season. A scenario that does not expect to see happen Xavi , who reiterated his attachment to Dembélé this Friday. “I made him understand very clearly the project that we have with him ” “ It is not only about the economic question, but also about the project. He's a very important player and I still believe he can be the best player in his role. He is an example and I made him understand very clearly the project we have with him and he will be vital for us. I will not get into the question of the numbers, but as far as the project is concerned, I think it could end up tipping the scales, ” Xavi said in a press conference reported by Sport.
