Xavi and Jordi Cruyff meet with Dembélé’s agent

Barça tries to find a solution for the case of Ousmane Dembele, less than a week before the transfer market closes. On Tuesday at noon, the Frenchman’s agent arrived in Barcelona, Moussa Sissoko, and that same afternoon he met with Xavi Hernandez, Barça coach, in search of a solution to unblock the situation. The summit, revealed by Sport, was also attended by Jordi Cruyff beside Xavi, while Mateu Alemany he was unable to do so because he tested positive for Covid a few days ago.

After this meeting, at FC Barcelona they are moderately optimistic about the case of Dembele. The player reiterates that his intention is to continue at Barça and he also stated that Sissoko, so the two parties are working to find a satisfactory solution for all, although Barça assures that it will not raise its financial offer. The representative of the French striker told them the same thing that he ensures every week in the locker room, that the priority of Dembele is to continue at Barça, who wants to renew and is committed to the project. Sissoko, as he had already stated in an interview in France, maintains that the player is delighted with the treatment and the trust he has shown him Xavi since the first day. The technician even said in his presentation that “well worked, Ousmane He can be the best in the world in his position.”

Despite the good predisposition shown by his agent in this meeting with Xavi Y Jordi Cruyff, the club’s position has not changed, if the Frenchman does not renew this week, before the end of the market, a way out will be sought for him to leave Barça before January 31.

The club, through Xavi and of Mateu Alemany issued an ultimatum in public to Dembele before the Cup match in Bilbao and the Frenchman was left out of the list for that match and last Sunday’s in Vitoria. The same day, Dembele He did not go to the Ciutat Esportiva citing gastric discomfort.

Barça wants to avoid reaching February 1 with Dembele in the template if you have not renewed, so you have just five days left to unblock the situation. The case is still complex, but now there is some optimism after the good predisposition shown by Sissoko and his partner at Tuesday’s meeting.

The departure or renewal of the contract of Dembele It is key to lighten the wage bill and be able to sign in this winter market, so right now it is a priority and strategic negotiation for the short-term future of FC Barcelona.

Dembele you have already seen that Xavi His pulse has not wavered to leave him in the stands, after the club and the coach decided so by consensus. The striker is within his rights not to sign and stay at Barça until June 30, but in that case he already knows that it will be difficult for him to wear the Barça shirt again, because they have told him so. The pulse continues, although with much less tension after the meeting between Sissoko, Xavi Y Jordi Cruyff.
