According to coach Xavi, the decision as to whether and how Ousmane Dembele will continue at FC Barcelona must be made this month.
Barcelona coach Xavi has expressed his annoyance with the Ousmane Dembele situation and has demanded a decision from the winger later this month. “We can’t wait for Ousmane,” he said during the press conference ahead of Thursday’s Cup Round of 16 at Athletic Club in Bilbao.
Dembele’s contract with the Catalans expires in the summer but so far he hasn’t signed the extension offer that was presented to him. Instead of this . “Either he is extended or a solution has to be found with an immediate sale,” Xavi gave his point of view.
Xavi: “… but then he doesn’t sign after all”
If Dembele is still in the Barca squad after the end of the transfer period and he still hasn’t renewed his contract, then at least he doesn’t face any consequences from the coach. “I’m not thinking about putting him in the stands,” said Xavi.
However, he also made it clear that he doesn’t like the subject at all: “He always says he wants to stay but then he doesn’t sign,” said the Barca coach.
Dembele came to Barcelona from Borussia Dortmund in 2017 for 140 million euros. In the worst case, the Catalans are now threatened with the free transfer of the offensive man in the summer.
