So much Ousmane Dembélé like the directive of the FC Barcelona seemed to have clear intentions to extend his agreement, but a clause gone in in force from 1 June looms with moving away to the extreme of the City Condal. And it is that, in the agreement signed the past year, the '7' accepted to go down the value of his clause of rescission (100 million euros) to the half during the two first months of the market veraniego (June and July).
In this way, until 1 August, any club will be able to carry to 'Dembouz' in return of 50 'kilos'. That mount would divide in two equal parts: €25m for the Barça and the 50 % remaining for Moussa Sissoko, agent of the player. The extreme signed by two seasons at a rate of 7 'kilos' net to the year and, if it does not renew, will have freedom to negotiate with other teams from 1 January 2024.
The Barça expects to renew to Dembélé readjusting his index card
However, the newspaper 'SPORT' had filtered in November happened the real figures of the agreement of Dembélé, which revealed a net wage of 16 million euros that could rise to €20m including variable. In this sense, the directive would have like priority extend the agreement of the Frenchman by three seasons to adjust his index card, opening sufficient space in the mass salarial to fit the new agreements of Araújo, Gavi and Balde, together with the arrival of several reinforcements.
For the moment, Ousmane has not showed doubts on his future and, after losing three months by an injury in the previous rectum of the left thigh, the player of 26 years expects to arrive to tope for the pre-season with the ones of Xavi Hernández. Until his injury in Girona, the Frenchman was being the best of the staff beside Robert Lewandowski and, in spite of his prolonged drop, his numbers in the season have been good (8 goals and 8 assistances in 34 parties).
Chelsea, Liverpool and PSG could take advantage of the new clause of Dembélé
While it keep his clause of rescission in 50 'kilos', three clubs with sufficient offensive power to close heights traspasos could take advantage of for fichar to Dembélé. This is the case of Chelsea, team that already tried ficharle the past summer, in addition to Paris Saint-germain and Liverpool. The three clubs prioritise to renew his forwards this summer and the 'mosquito' would fit well in his plans. However, the player will have the last word to define his future, which could tie him in brief to the Barça until 2026.
