Barça Mercato: The Ousmane Dembélé file settled in 48 hours

After a disappointing first half of the season, FC Barcelona intends to take advantage of the winter transfer window to climb back up the slope, by securing some great signings. The Catalan club has already completed a first reinforcement in the person of Ferran Torresand now activates to resolve hot issues internally. The case Ousmane Dembele, at the end of the contract next June with Barça, has notably become a priority for the Barcelona leaders.

Barca have already started negotiations to renew his lease, but the France international has very high salary demands before extending. Hit hard by an unprecedented economic crisis, Barça cannot afford to respond favorably to its claims. That’s why the Blaugrana have given the 24-year-old a new ultimatum to clear up his position.

According to information from Mundo Deportivo, FC Barcelona would have set 48 hours to Ousmane Dembele to accept or decline the club’s offer. If agreed, the former Stade Rennais striker should continue his adventure in Catalonia. But in case of failure, Barça should sell him this winter to prevent him from leaving for free at the end of the current season. And it is not the suitors who are lacking to welcome him.

If Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United or Bayern Munich are interested in the profile of Ousmane Dembélé, Juventus Turin seems to have taken a serious lead over its competitors. An agreement in principle between the French striker and Juve is even mentioned. The Old Lady would like to offer the services of the Barcelona striker this winter in order to compensate for the long injury of Chiesa. The idea would even be to include Alvaro Morata in the deal to facilitate the arrival of the former Rennais in Piedmont. But everything will depend on the principal concerned. The next few hours will therefore be decisive for the future of Ousmane Dembélé.
