“The important thing is that Dembélé helps us until the end”

Ousmane Dembele was the protagonist of Barça’s victory against Osasuna with two goal assists Ferran Torres and Aubameyang and a decisive pass to Riqui Puig in the final 4-0 play. After not accepting the renewal of his contract, which ends on June 30, his future will always be the subject of debate, also because Xavi Hernandez pardoned him after being punished by the club. Jordi Cruyff, a member of the club’s technical secretariat, valued his performance without going too far into forecasting his future. In France they do not rule out that he will continue at Barça.

“The situation regarding the renewal of Dembele is not easy. I think the most important thing is that he continues to help the team and the rest will be seen. He has played a good game, like many players who end their contract with the future already done and others who are looking for a better contract. That he continues helping the team to achieve the maximum objectives and the rest we cannot control”.

about the goals of Ferran Torres aHe pointed out that “there was more noise from outside than inside. When a player has chances he ends up materializing them, nobody at the club had any doubts”.

Lastly, he made it clear that before thinking about the Clásico on March 20 against Real Madrid we have to think about Istanbul, on Thursday 17, after the 0-0 against Galatasaray in the first leg of the Europa League round of 16: “The next game is always the most important, when people think otherwise we will be wrong. My mentality for having been a player is to go game by game and we’ll see if in the end He gives us for something else, a while ago we were fifth and we are already third working to be second”.
