Without having too much to do as footballers, the futures of Ousmane Dembélé, 24, and Raheem Sterling, who will turn 27 in December, may be connected. As reported Sports world, Moussa Sissoko, Dembélé’s representative, continues to delay the renewal of the former Borussia Dortmund player, who has yet to make his debut this season after the injury he suffered at the European Championship. Despite the fact that Barça has endured its carousel of injuries since it arrived in 2017, religiously paying for a performance that it has not given, Sissoko does not make any gesture with the club. The player will be free to sign with another team from January 1.
While, in Manchester, Sterling has complained about his situation in the team and Guardiola has made it clear that he is not willing to tolerate bad rolls in the locker room. That’s where Barça comes into play, who already tried an approach this summer, but without success. Manchester City is clear that Sterling’s days are numbered, but his strategy will be the same as in the summer. If someone wants to leave, bring an offer. That is the problem for Barça, highly conditioned by its economic situation and that it is not clear that Sterling is what he needs, especially if he wants to attack the signing of a star next season.
