Spanish press sources revealed the final position regarding the position of Frenchman Othman Dembele from renewing his contract with Barcelona for another period to come.

The 24-year-old Dembele’s contract with the Catalan team is scheduled to expire in the summer of 2022, and so far he has not renewed his contract.

According to the information received by the Spanish newspaper “Sport”, Osman Dembele, the Barcelona winger, notified the Barca administration that he would not renew his contract, in a final decision from him, for not agreeing to the club’s financial proposal.

The newspaper said that the French player has finally decided his future with Barca, after a long process of negotiations to renew his contract, which expires in June 2022.

The newspaper pointed out that the Frenchman, Othman Dembele, does not want to leave during the current winter transfer period, and wants to wait until next June 30 to get out for free, which the Catalan club rejects, as it seeks to sell it in January to benefit from it financially.

And she reported that the French wing believes that he deserves a contract suitable for his technical capabilities from Barcelona, ​​in the step of renewal, especially since he has a number of special offers from the giants of Europe.

It stated that Osman Dembele asked the Barcelona administration for an amount of 200 million euros in exchange for extending his contract for the next 5 seasons, while giving him 20 million euros as a commission for his agent and an additional 20 million for the player, which is not available in the treasury of Barcelona Club at the present time, due to the economic crisis that the Catalan team is experiencing. .

Although Dembele rejected Barcelona’s offer to extend his contract, he has the confidence of Barca coach Xavi Hernandez, who appeared in Real Madrid’s Clasico in the Spanish Super Cup semi-finals.

But Barcelona considered Dembele’s requests insulting and they did speak directly through sporting director, Matteo Alemani, who warned of the consequences.

Barcelona’s agent threatened that Dembele would forget to participate in any other minute with the team until June 30, reminding him that there is a World Cup soon in Qatar 2022.

Xavi does not support the idea of ​​excluding a player in the stands for 6 months and training separately, the best solution for everyone would be an immediate exit from Barcelona, ​​either in the form of a transfer or termination of the contract.

Barcelona is studying the best alternatives, even considering the path to break the contract and go to court because there will be a strong struggle with Dembele and his agent over the remaining salary.

Thus, everything indicates that Dembele was playing his last match for Barcelona on Wednesday against Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup semi-final and it seems that his departure from Barcelona is only a matter of time.
