Dembele Brings Good News for Barcelona
By db-admin
DBasia.news – Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele is reportedly starting to think about staying at Camp Nou. Dembele was happy after finding his touch again under the leadership of Xavi Hernandez.
Barcelona extended their unbeaten run in LaLiga to 11 matches after overthrowing Elche 2-1. Barca had fallen behind before Ferran Torres and Memphis Depay ripped the nets for the home team.
Jordi Alba performed brilliantly from the left side. Meanwhile, another player who stands out is Ousmane Dembele who reports on Elche’s defense through his movement from the wings. He played a role in building goals scored by Torres.
This slick appearance shows the positive trend shown by Dembele in the last few matches. Previously, he was the actor of Barca’s victory over Athletic Bilbao. Dembele scored one goal and two assists.
The increasingly improved appearance made Dembele start considering staying at Barcelona. Helena Condis and COPE report that Dembele is open to a contract extension.
The existence of Xavi behind the wheel of Barcelona is also one of the keys to Dembele’s desire to extend the contract. Xavi has made Dembele productive again by scoring two goals and providing five assists this season.
So far, Barcelona’s negotiation process with Dembele’s agent, Moussa Sissoko, has not restarted. Previously, the two parties had reached a stalemate when discussing contracts towards the end of 2021.
Thus, Barcelona’s hope is not to lose Dembele for free at the end of the season. One thing that is the main focus in Dembele’s contract extension is whether the player is willing to have his salary cut.
