Now, the 2018 world champion is free to negotiate with whomever he wishes, his contract expiring on June 30. As for several months now, Catalan management are doing everything possible to extend the 24-year-old’s commitment. But for the moment, no agreement has been found since the agent of Ousmane Dembélé , Moussa Sissoko , would have demands which are light years away from economic capacities. of FC Barcelona . The Blaugrana leaders therefore find themselves at an impasse concerning the Frenchman's case, whose situation has not escaped the various European leaders, starting with PSG , which has already taken action.
