Zapping World Eleven The schedule of the blues for the 2022 World Cup
The soap opera of Ousmane Dembélé’s extension at Barça continues week after week. The fateful date of June 30, the official end of Ousmane Dembélé’s contract with the Catalan club, has now passed. Officially, the French international winger is therefore free of any contract. But the player and Barca are still discussing an extension.
Barça wanted to extend Dembélé before Sunday evening
Problem, another fateful date has passed as the Spanish daily AS explains. According to the Spanish newspaper, Barça had set this Sunday at 9 p.m. as the deadline for obtaining an extension from Ousmane Dembélé so that he could be present when Xavi resumed training on Monday morning. No agreement having been reached this weekend, the French striker will not train with his partners.
However, the soap opera is not over yet. The Spanish newspaper specifies that discussions continue between Ousmane Dembélé and the Barcelona club. With the still strong hope on both sides that an agreement can finally be found in the days to come. The adventure between Dembélé and Barça is therefore not necessarily over.
to summarize
Negotiations are still unsuccessful for the extension of Ousmane Dembélé at Barça. Result, the French international striker is not part of the Catalan group at the resumption. However, this does not necessarily mean a definitive end to a new signing of Dembélé.
