The 'hot potato' that Xavi has with Ousmane Dembélé

The FC Barcelona has not achieved 'undo' of Ousmane Dembélé in this market of wintry signings, although the club warned him that, if it did not renew, would have to do his cases. The French did not listen and refused all the -few- offers that arrived to the offices of the club in the last weeks of the month of January. At all it was sufficient for the agents of the extreme neither the own player. Now, his situation remains in the air with Xavi Hernández like protagonist.

Joan Laporta left very clear the situation of 'Dembouz' right now: "we did Him a very good offer of renewal. The player said that no. First alleging that it was not a subject of money, but afterwards yes centred in the economic appearance. Here it was when enquistó the subject. The agent did not say us at all and this has consequences for the club", said the president of the Barcelona entity during the presentation of Adama Traoré.

Likewise, Laporta launched the balloon to the roof of Xavi Hernández, the one who will be the one who will decide if it will play or no during these last months of his agreement: "Has agreement. If it is available, the trainer will decide if it can play or no. Pero The technician knows the circumstances and is the same of surprised that we that it did not accept the renewal"... Which options has the trainer egarense right now?

There are two possibilities in the air: that it remain permanently in the terracing, without contesting more minutes in the team, or that, by the contrary, go back to play with the Barça. In the last two months, Xavi has posed the two options. "If [Dembélé] has agreement, has to play. Also by image of the own club. I do not contemplate this option [to send it to the terracing]", said Xavi Hernández, trainer of the FC Barcelona, in the previous of the party of the Barcelona against the Real Betis, the past three December.

However, the 19 January said that if it did not renew, did not go to play: "Or it contemplates that it renew the player or look for an exit. There are not more solutions. We are in a situation complicated. I have been very clear with Ousmane". Two very different postures of the egarense, this last totally chord to what think the directors of the Barcelona club, that would prefer no 'exhibit it' when on 30 June will leave of the Camp Nou without leaving a euro in the arks of the club.

It would have to play Dembélé?

The situation is more than complicated, but will be Xavi the one who will decide. In the last days has come informing that it exists some tension between the club and the trainer, because this would want to have Dembélé in what it subtracts of season. His argument would be based in what it is the French for the team: a player that is able of desequilibrar to the rival defence and find spaces where there are not them.

Xavi understands that Dembélé can be an important player if has continuity and respect him the injuries, but from the dispatches of the Camp Nou keep in the posture that it is not 'just' for the Barça leave that it play if there is not commitment by his part of face to the future.... It is a true war that would have to resolve in brief, when Xavi attend to the media in the previous of the visit of the Athletic of Madrid to the feudo Barcelona, this Sunday to the 16:15 hours.
