Midfielder Usman Dembele still far from compromise with management “Barcelona”.
The Catalans made it clear to Ousmane that he won’t play, if he does not extend the contract, calculated until the end of the season, and at the same time refuses to change the club in January.
Moussa Sissoko, the 24-year-old Frenchman’s agent, insists that regardless of whether his client renews his contract or not, he will remain with the team until June and will not leave this winter, As reports citing SER Catalunya.
Dembele will not allow the club to put pressure on him, up to threats to leave him out of the application for Barça matches. At the same time, the coach Xavi does not support such a measure of pressure on the player.
According to the source, the French midfielder has already agreed a summer contract with the Premier League club, but he is not going to force the transition now, no matter how hard Barça try to find a solution.
Dembele and his agent believe that the advantage in this situation is on their side. Since the club was unable to close the issue with the extension of the contract in advance, now the player and the agent can decide the future in a timely manner. And Dembele’s intention is to remain a Barcelona player until June.
The midfielder has provided 2 assists in 6 games La Liga in this season. His stats are here.
