Barely two months following a first extension until June 2024, FC Barcelona already intends to offer a new contract to winger Ousmane Dembl. The sparkling form of the Frenchman as well as his release clause, only fixed at 50 M€, push the Catalans to act very quickly.

It seems a long time ago when FC Barcelona and striker Ousmane Dembl tore each other apart during tough negotiations for the extension of the Frenchman’s contract.

After an agreement reached last summer for a new lease until June 2024, the Blaugrana want to see even further…

A €50 million increase clause

Indeed, the Bara intends to quickly return to action to shield, once more, the French international, according to information from the daily Mundo Deportivo this Friday. Unsurprisingly, the Catalan club wants to lock the former Rennais, who has returned to an excellent level in recent weeks, in the long term, at least until June 2026. By the way, the reigning Spanish vice-champion wants to avoid a bad surprise by increasing his release clause, currently fixed at 50 million euros.

And the media does not take tweezers in asserting that this is a priorities in the minds of Catalan leaders, even if no negotiations have yet been launched. Made aware of the intentions of his management, Dembl is, logically, open to discussion and would even be seduced by the idea of ​​staying permanently in Catalonia.

Dembl’s metamorphosis

In any case, on paper, the Barcelona strategy presents an implacable logic. It must be recognized that since the arrival of coach Xavi, Dembl has radically changed his face. As much in his behavior as in his performance on the pitch, as evidenced by his 2 goals and 2 decisive assists in 6 La Liga games this season, the 2018 world champion has found the light and seems to flourish under the orders of the Spanish technician. A revival confirmed on the hard?

Transfer from FC Valence to Paris Saint-Germain during the last summer transfer window, midfielder Carlos Soler initially wanted to extend on the long term with the Spanish club. This Monday, the young talent wanted to make a big update on the conditions of his departure.

At the end of the last summer transfer window, Paris Saint-Germain secured the services of midfielder Carlos Soler from FC Valence for 18 million euros. Seduced by the Parisian project, the 25-year-old talent initially had another plan in mind for his career.

And annoyed by the critics since his departure, the Spanish international has decided to make a big update on the conditions of this operation.

Soler wanted to extend in the long term

Because before joining PSG, Soler spoke for a long time with Valencia for an extension of his contract, which expired in June 2023. And for his part, the Iber really wanted to project himself in the long term within the current 9th of the League. In the end, I was asking for a long-term contract because I wanted to be tied down for most of my life. From 25 to 33, 34 or 35, to be tied to Valencia all my life. The club has a philosophy and does not want to make contracts of more than six years. I thought differently and the club never came close to what I was asking for in terms of years and that deal didn’t go through.he told SuperDeporte on Monday.

What I would have liked is a long-term contract, of eight, nine or ten years. In Spain, it’s allowed and that’s what I asked the club in this sense. They didn’t tell me. I can’t blame them either, it’s their decision, if they didn’t see it that way, it’s like that.relativized the Spaniard, who also insisted on his joy at launching a new challenge in Paris.

Valence a eu l’opportunit de le retenir…

However, before giving the green light to PSG, Soler still offered Valencia a final chance. But the proposal of its former leaders did not evolve… In fact, in the last weeks of this market, I went to talk to Gattuso, also Layhoon, to ask them if there was going to be a change or if, definitely, since I didn’t want to leave for free, I should look for a door of exit. He told me I had to talk to Peter and at the end, on the last day of the market, when the offer from Paris was ready, they sent me their offer and it was the same as the last one. They made an effort, but the conditions were not what I wanted, nor close, and there was no margin, he judged. A boon for Paris, which was able to secure the services of a promising element at an affordable cost.
