Ousmane Dembélé and his entourage once again have the possibility of resuming negotiations with the FC Barcelona board in their hands. The player seems willing to stay, but his agent, Moussa Sissoko, will have the last word

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The 'serial Dembélé has given an unexpected twist in the last hours. Of the ultimatum of the directive to finals of January to the turn of the player to the announcement of Xavi Hernández the case now planet a possible conciliation between the parts, as long as Moussa Sissoko, agent of the forward, yield in his economic aspirations. And it is that it has been the same Sissoko the one who from does months has commissioned to block the negotiations with the managerial blaugrana, because of the high emolumentos demanded.

The plans of the Barça aim to offer him to the of Vernom a renewal by a maximum of two seasons, as long as it keep the nivle showed the Sunday in front of the Athletic. From 2017, the French never has been able to explode all the talent that showed in the Borussia Dortmund and by which the institution encouraged to pay him 105 million euros to the Germans, figure that today surpasses the 150 'kilos' if it includes the wage of the player in the last five years and other premiums associated to the transaction.

Between these premiums, Sissoko could not earn a money that then would have been able to accredit if Ousmane went out free of the Borussia, course to Barcelona or to another club. The agent does not want that this premium go back him to escape and, thus, would expect to that the Frenchman finish his agreement with the Barça in June to negotiate his incorporation to another club or, included, a new agreement with the culés. This would explain the attitude of the agent, the one who from does months has empecinado in demanding always more money of the that offered him the Barcelona to renew to Dembélé. The forward finished being the most exposed, winning the rejection of the directive and of an important sector of the fans by his refusal to negotiate, a rejection that the Sunday was changed by applauses after his exhibition in front of the Bilbao.

Maybe the player of 24 years never have agreed with the requirements of his agent, or perhaps yes. The true is that, from January, 'Dembou' was able to convince to Xavi to have he still when the directive pretended to leave him all the semester in the terracing, and this is not a lower detail. If the technician egarense follows betting by Ousmane, remains clear that the commitment of the French with the team, at least from the sportive, is total. Of the contrary, the French does while had been separated of the announcement of definite way.

The directive and the player, without contacts from December

On 20 December, Joan Laporta ordered to withdraw the offer of renewal to the playedr. A month later, on 20 January, Xavi left him out of the announcement for the party by the eighth of final of the Glass of the King in front of the Athletic (defeat 3-2). A month and a week later, the player returned in style in Camp Nou, with a golazo and two assistances in front of the bilbaínos. Like this of cambiante has been the 'case Dembélé', but for the moment the contacts between the agent of the forward and the club do not produce . It will yield Sissoko in his aspirations? This 'serial' still has a lot of cloth for cutting.
