JAKARTA - Barcelona player, Ousmane Dembele, became a hot commodity in the transfer market last summer. Understandably, at that time he almost left Barcelona after it was reported that he did not want to extend his contract.

At that time big European clubs such as Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea approached him. However, all of them were finger bit.

Dambele decided to stay at Barcelona. He finally signed a new contract with the Spanish La Liga club.

Dembele said Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez was the main factor that made him decide to stay at Barcelona.

Xavi convinces Dembele that his team will fight for the Champions League title. He also hopes Dembele can help the team make it happen.

"After what Xavi told me, I decided to defend. I want Barca to win the Champions League again," said Dembele, as reported by Antara.

"They haven't done it for a long time."

"I always tell Xavi that I want to stay at this club. After that, it's just a negotiation and contract factor," he continued.

Dembele's decision to defend is proven to be right. He is now an important factor in the front sector of the Blaugrana.

Not only goals, he also contributed with assists for his colleagues to break into the opponent's goal.
