About Dembele

The offer has been in for a long time and they have taken the time to assess it. until the end of the season. We would have liked an answer earlier, but we cannot force the other party. We made an offer because Ousmane appeals to the coach, to me too, and that is why we have is making a big effort, given the economy of the club. There is a good personal relationship with the player in the dressing room, his friend Aubameyang has arrived, but he has representatives looking out for his interests and we hope his decision will be to renew”.
