The contract of the 24-year-old winger with the club from the Catalan capital expires at the end of this season. There were many indications that the Barca authorities would not obstruct him and would let him go, even for free, when his contract was over. Now, however, it seems that things have taken a different direction.
Discussions on Dembele’s future
Both sides had been negotiating a potential new one for several weeks, which Barca would only agree to if Dembele agreed to a salary cut. Given the uncertain financial situation, the club could not afford to continue paying such a high salary.
The Spanish website “Footmercato” reported that despite the almost certain departure of Dembele from the club now everything looks completely different. The French winger reportedly decided to stay with the Catalan club. The 24-year-old was to agree to the offer of a new contract presented to him by Barca.
Dembele agreed to a new deal
According to the media, he will soon sign a new contract, valid until the end of June 2024. At the same time, the French agreed to a lower salary, the amount of which, however, has not been disclosed. It is known, however, that the agent of the wingman did everything to the last button.
The former winger’s fate at Camp Nou so far has been marked by many problems. Dembele often had to deal with various types of heal, as a result of which he had missed more than 100 appointments. However, his signing a new contract would be an impetus for the club, which would avoid losing nearly 130 million euros that was spent on the French in 2017.
