Barcelona are reportedly hoping to agree on a new deal with 26-year-old French international Ousmane Dembele in the coming weeks.
According to a report from Mundo Deportivo, Ousmane Dembele wants to continue at Barcelona, and he has no intentions of leaving them. Barcelona have already submitted an offer to the French international in May, and they are making good progress in renewal talks.
The 26-year-old seems to have gotten over his persistent injury problems, and he has been an important player for the Spanish club this season. The winger has eight goals and nine assists to his name across all competitions, and his contract expires in the summer of 2024. Meanwhile, his release clause has dropped to €50 million.
Barcelona do not plan to weaken their squad, and they are hoping to renew his deal in the coming weeks. Dembele is at the peak of his powers, and he could continue to be an important first-team player for Barcelona in the coming seasons.
The player was regarded as a world-class talent when he joined from Borussia Dortmund, and he will be hoping to fulfil his potential and establish himself as one of the best attackers in the world in the coming years.
The 26-year-old played a key role in Barcelona’s La Liga win this season, and he will be hoping to help the Catalan club perform at a high level in the European competition next year. Barcelona were quite underwhelming in Europe this year, and they will look to do well in the Champions League next year.
The Blaugrana will have to improve their squad as well. But they need to ensure that their key players stay at the club for the long haul. Barcelona are going through financial difficulties right now and they might not be able to bring in too many reinforcements. It makes sense for them to focus on holding on to their best players.
Dembele has been linked with the move to the Premier League in recent months. But the newly-crowned La Liga champions will be delighted with the information that the French international does not want to leave and is ready to pen an extension with them.
