Ousmane Dembele is hopeful to extend his contract with Barcelona. The France international is in his final year of contract with the club. He has been plagued with injuries during his time at Camp Nou, and recently returned to action.
The player arrived in Spain four years ago from Borussia Dortmund. Barcelona paid a massive £124 million for the youngster, but he has subsequently failed to live up to the price tag. Regardless of the initial spell, he has told his agents that he wants to continue with the Blaugrana.
Barcelona missed the opportunity to sell the player this summer due to the injury he sustained with France in the Euros. As a result, they will have to tie him down to a new contract or risk losing him for free in June. While there was some concern about him leaving for free, the initial talks between the two parties are going positively.
So, we can expect an official agreement to be reached very soon. The La Liga giants hope to extend Dembele’s contract within this month itself.
Barcelona recently extended the contracts of talented youngsters Pedri and Ansu Fati. Their new deals have made them untouchable in terms of transfers. With the talent Ousmane Dembele has shown when he is fit, Barcelona could do the same. However, his injury record will be something to take into consideration when it comes to the details of the deal.
