Barcelona attacker refuses to listen to offers right now, claims to be happy at club

In a span of one season, Ousmane Dembele has completely overturned his situation at Barcelona. The Frenchman was considered a failure by the Catalan fanbase as his career went on a downward spiral with repeated injuries since he joined the club.

With his worst period behind him, Dembele finds himself a regular starter under Xavi Hernandez at Barcelona. Further, he reached the World Cup final with the French National Team last month and was a regular starter under Didier Deschamps.

According to reports from Luis F Rojo, Dembele is uncertain about his future and has made no decision pertaining to the same. He will not listen to any offers at the moment at aims to concentrate on the current season for Barcelona.

“I renewed four months ago, I am happy at Barcelona,” Dembele said, as quoted by Eleven Sports.

Though the French International is committed to Xavi’s plans, the club will have to be wary of his contractual situation because of a clause in his deal.

In the months of June and July, during the summer transfer window, the winger’s release clause will fall to a mere €50 million from the current figure of €100 million.

It is no secret that the youngster is one of the most talented players in world football, and the revised price tag would be a bargain for several top European sides looking to strengthen their squads.

Joan Laporta must thus hunt for ways to salvage the situation, the best of which would be to secure a renewal.

Xavi has always been a vocal about being Dembele’s fan and considers him the best in the world in his position. Needless to say, the continuity of a player so vital to the manager’s plans must be taken as a priority.

In 15 La Liga appearances for the Blaugranas this season, the 25-year-old has scored four goals and provided five assists. He also scored a goal in Barcelona’s recent nervy win over Intercity.
