Ousmane Dembélé’s future will remain linked to Barça. The French winger welcomes sitting down with the Barça club to extend his contract until 2027as announced this Thursday by Mundo Deportivo, who revealed a meeting between the footballer’s agent, Moussa Sissoko, and those responsible for the sports field Mateu Alemany and Jordi Cruyff, who has been presented due to his good relationship with the winger’s environment despite the fact that this Friday he will live his last day at Barça. The meeting has been positive for both parties and closes the departure of Dembélé with a stroke of the pen.
A part of the conversation has revolved around the departure of the French this summer taking into account that His clause is until July 31 of 50 million and that the winger ends the contract on June 30, 2024. Sissoko has made it clear that the footballer has no intention of leaving for that figure (Barça would only receive half as the other 50% would correspond to the agent) and wants to sit down with the entity to renew the contract. Barça wants to extend it until 2027. Although this season, due to injuries, Dembélé has only been able to play 25 official matches, he is an essential player for Xavi Hernández.
This is the beginning of the conversations that should lead this contract extension to a better port than the previous one, when until the last moment, and when the footballer was already considered lost, he renewed the contract while Barça was already looking for substitutes for him. To renew, Dembélé, who arrived in the 2017-18 campaign, will celebrate a decade as a Barça player and would end their relationship with 30 years.
