The situation in the file of the future of the French star, Othman Dembele, changed in a short period of time, as the wing whose contract with Barcelona had expired became desperate to stay and is pressing to meet his financial demands, at a time when the club’s board of directors adheres to its position in light of the economic crisis it suffers from.
And the Spanish newspaper, Mundo Deportivo, revealed, on Wednesday, 3 reasons that would push the Frenchman to stay with the team and sign a new contract, to complete the wonderful work he did at the end of the season.
The newspaper pointed out that the first reason that Barcelona seeks to exploit is the player’s insistence on staying with the team despite the offers he received, the latest of which was serious interest from Chelsea, where the negotiator and sporting director Matteo Alemani considers that he must reverse the pressure of the player’s agent in their favour, in order to ensure Dembele services in the new season.
The second reason lies in the communication of coach Xavi Hernandez with his player who is in the Moroccan city of Marrakesh, where he spends the end of the season on an ongoing basis, and assured him of his desire to watch him carry the team’s colors again, and Othman exchanged his coach the same feeling, although the Spaniard stipulated that he accept the financial conditions current and thinking about his football future.
Faced with this situation, the Blaugrana resorted to a final pressure factor, which is the Brazilian Rafinha paper, as interest still exists in the Leeds United star, through continuous communication with his agent and former Portuguese team star Deco, which made Dembele change his position and review his requests one last time to match. With the situation, it will also allow him to respond beautifully to the team that paid a great value to include him without benefiting from him due to the large number of injuries.
In a related context, according to journalist Ruben Oria from Goal, Xavi is determined to renew Ousmane Dembele’s contract and has informed the Barcelona administration that this is his priority to support the offensive line this summer.
At the same time, Xavi’s huge support for Dembele makes the player want to stay with Barca, and he is closer to renewal than ever.
