Ousmane Dembélé was one of the many millionaire signings of Barça de Bartomeu that reveals the management of the former culé president
Joan Laporta has done reference to the "nefasta management" of Josep María Bartomeu in the FC Barcelona in a sinfín of opportunities. The ex Barcelona mandator took incomprehensible decisions and that affect the present and immediate future of the club, because it remained practically mortgaged. The situation has not improved with the return of 'Jan' and the Barcelona picture has a lot of symptoms of a crisis that hammers and extends .
They have been too many years of descontrol, but intensified with the exit of Neymar Jr that left in box 222 million euros, a quantity that the Barça spent too prompt and with operations more than debatable. First it was Ousmane Dembélé, by 105 millions more 40 'kilos' in variables and afterwards Philippe Coutinho, that is the most expensive signing of the history of the Barcelona club, by 120 more variable millions.
The two have been one 'ruin' for the Barcelona, because in all this time have not achieved to fit in the team, although they have had opportunity after opportunity. The French, in concrete, goes to begin his fifth season in brief, after four months of drop to consequence of an injury suffered in the Eurocopa with France.
It has been his enésima injury since it landed in the Barça and the situation complicates because it has not renewed his agreement with the culés, that wins in the summer of 2022. In fact, the last informations have desvelado that it will not play with the team until it extend his agreement with the Barcelona group. That is to say, the club does not want to serve of shop window so that it leave free next summer. The same that happened with Ilaix Moriba.
Dembélé... In front of his last opportunity?
The situation with Dembélé follows without being clear because the club 'command' contradictory messages with his situation: primero warn that they want to 'take care it', but at the same time signal that if it does not renew, will not play. And this is something that goes against of the team, that is 'urgido' of an able player of desbordar and that it can 'contribute' in the task of the goal. Something that escasea in Can Barça.
That's why Laporta wants to renew it, because it is conscious that there is not a similar profile in the staff, but 'Dembouz' also has to put of his part. Up to now, his performance has left a lot that wish, because it has happened 658 days of drop, a situation, as little, alarming, losing in total 96 parties by injury. His contribution has been little, with 33 goals, in 119 parties (76 like titling).
