Barcelona News: The contract extension of Ousmane Dembele is still up in the air, as Barcelona look to try further.

Barcelona News: According to SPORT, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s words about his ‘little brother’ Ousmane Dembele generated a fresh notion that the Frenchman could as well extend his current Barcelona contract, which expires in June 2022, to include a longer stay at Camp Nou beyond that date.

“Will Dembele change his mind and decide to remain? What I can say is that everything is possible in life. Everything is possible, and that is the most important thing to remember,” said the striker. He scored a hat-trick in the 5-0 victory against Valencia. 

In all respect, the simple probability of Dembele continuing his career beyond the current season is almost non-existent.

Throughout the January transfer window, the incessant blame game between the Barcelona administration and Ousmane Dembele’s entourages has slowed the progress of the relationship to the point that it is no longer possible to turn back the clock.

The player, on the other hand, has remained true to his words. He stated that he wants to continue to wear the Barcelona jersey for the remainder of the season. His devotion, whatever one wishes to interpret it, has been enthusiastically received by Xavi. He has gone against the wishes of the club’s hierarchy to provide the Frenchman with critical minutes under his belt.

The future of Ousmane Dembele is still not clear

As a consequence, Xavi is full of praise for Ousmane Dembele. He has continued to rely on him despite the signings of Ferran Torres, Adama Traore, and Aubemeyang himself during the winter transfer window.

In addition, the players have made him feel comfortable in the dressing room. That raised the possibility that he may stay on.

It’s not going to be simple. However, Barcelona put up a significant amount of effort to get him a new long-term deal with them. As a result, they have no intention of accepting a fresh offer at this time. Essentially, the situation is straightforward. If Dembele wants to continue playing, he must adapt to Barça’s demands rather than the other way around.

In fact, according to the source, Barcelona is not prepared to give the World Cup champion the same conditions that they did in January to other players. According to them, he will have to accept a far lesser offer – at least for the time being – if he wants to stay in Catalonia.

Despite the mess that unfolded in January, Xavi has always been in favour of keeping Dembele on the team. Whether or not a contract extension is in place, he has still not been banished as such. The coach acknowledges and respects the board’s choices. But he wants to have great players on his squad as he strives to finish in the top four of the Champions League standings.

The fact that Dembele has exceptional skills cannot be overstated. Nonetheless, he must put up significant work if he is to progress. All in all, it’s a relatively straightforward process.
