The directive of the Barça follows negotiating with the representative of the French attacker, Ousmane Dembélé, of 24 years. From the Barcelona club advances , little by little, with the intention to renew to the international forward French, since this week continued the conversations between the parts after the first contacts a week backwards.
The contacts of the directive with the agent of the French forward were through videoconference, and did not displace neither to the Ciutat Esportiva neither to the offices of the Camp Nou. The purpose of the club is to expand the agreement of Dembélé, that finalises on 30 June 2022. In spite of this, the French player knows that has the advantage in the negotiation because from January can negotiate freely with the team that wish.
The economic situation of the Barça is something that complicates the can do an offer sustanciosa, more still because in the already finished season the French has had more continuity in spite of finish the course with less leadership of the expected. Even so, although the negotiation does not expect that it was fast because the same this initial phase, from the Barcelona club were optimistic. This yes, the leaders of the club keep careful knowing the precedents of a player that can be impredecible so much inside as out of the lawn.
The Juventus to the threaten
The economic context has forced to Laporta to do a discount to the agreement of the players of the club, including obviously to Dembélé, that has one of the highest index cards of the staff of the Barcelona. And this is a factor against of the Barcelona directive in the negotiation.
Besides, the offer of the Juventus given to know by Sportive World is another factor that weighs in his decision. It can not forget that the leaders of "The Vecchia Signora" tried ficharlo the past summer. The Italian club, as it advanced the program 'Onze', would offer him to the French attacker five years of agreement with the same wage that earns in the Barcelona, an offer that, at present, is difficult to equalise for the club.
The alternative
It is thus that, from the Barcelona entity expect to go on with his renewal, or have, at least, a clear answer on his future. If the negotiations do not arrive to good port, the Barça would listen offers by Dembélé.
Before it go free in 2022, the club barcelonista prefers to sell it to do box with a footballer that know that has a lot of teams interested in him. They know that to a year to finish his agreement neither can ask a lot, but is better this stage to that go without perceiving an alone entry by his exit.
