Dembélé could close the circle against Athletic

How has the situation changed? Ousmane Dembele of the last match against Athletic Club. In January, when the FC Barcelona faced the Basque team in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey (3-2 for the lions, who won the tie in extra time) the French striker was away from the team waiting for his future to be resolved. Barça had decided to transfer him due to the player’s refusal not to accept the renewal proposal. Moreover, he publicly announced that he would not play again. The first game he called off was precisely the Cup against the rojiblanco team.

But his situation changed radically when February began. With the market closed, Ousmane continued in the Barça until the end of the season because he decided to decline the offers that came to him in the last days of January. He had six months left on his contract with Barça and Xavi was key in lifting his veto. In the offices they were more in favor of leaving him in the stands, but the coach firmly believes in his potential. Dembélé has already entered the squad against Atlético de Madrid, he played again against Espanyol, Napoli – he participated in both games – and started at Mestalla against Valencia.

At the moment it seems that Adama Traore He will go ahead of the Frenchman, but Xavi keeps him as a very solid alternative to take over from the two wingers in an intense schedule marked by the Europa League. Adama and Ferran Torres They were starters in Naples and Dembélé aims again to play from the start to give air up.
