Barcelona Sure Can Convince Ousmane Dembele To Stay
JAKARTA - Spanish League giants Barcelona are reportedly confident that winger Ousmane Dembele will stay and sign a new contract with the Blaugrana this summer.
Dembele's contract as quoted from football-Espana, Saturday, June 25, will expire at the end of this month and now the French player has shown a desire to stay at Barcelona.
Barcelona will not change the offer they have made since December last year and if Dembele wants to stay at Camp Nou, he will have to put his ego aside and accept the offer.
Barcelona believes Dembele will accept the offer, especially since the Frenchman has made it clear that he wants to stay in Catalonia, but the movement of his representatives is in the opposite direction.
Barcelona is quite surprised by the change in the direction shown by Dembele, they believe in it and are ready to accept the former Borussia Dortmund man with open arms.
This allows Barcelona to use the funds they have allocated for Dembele's replacement to important targets in other sectors that will add to their strength to navigate next season.
Ousmane Dembele was recorded to have come to Barcelona from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2017 for a transfer fee of 140 million euros.
During his time with Barcelona, Dembele has appeared in 150 games and contributed two Spanish League titles, two King's Cup titles, and one Spanish Super Cup.
This season, Dembele has appeared in 32 Barcelona matches in all competitions and was able to create two goals and 13 assists from 1,943 minutes played.
