It does not seem to come to a longer collaboration between Barcelona and Ousmane Dembélé, assures Goal. The Catalans have a new contract ready with which the Frenchman must also remain at the Camp Nou in the coming years, but agent Moussa Sissoko has postponed the agreement. Dembele still has a contract until next summer and can therefore negotiate with other clubs as of January 1. The attacker is said to have already been offered to the ambitious Newcastle United.

Barcelona has been in the waiting room for some time when it comes to Dembélé. The club is eager to continue with the attacker, but is slowly losing its patience. Despite the fact that contacts have already been made between Dembélé’s agent and Mateu Alemany, football director of Barcelona, ​​and with Joan Laporta, president of Barça, the matter is not getting anywhere. Barcelona meanwhile still assumes that it will reach an agreement between the two sides and that it will be rewarded for the patience shown.

Sissoko is looking at the possibilities for his client and has already offered Dembélé to several European clubs, including Newcastle United. The Premier League club has had the necessary financial resources since the takeover and is said to have already been in contact with Dembele’s representatives. According to chips Dembele’s entourage has contacted Newcastle. If Barcelona cannot come to an agreement with the Frenchman, he can leave on a free transfer next summer and he is looking for a five-year contract in England with an annual salary of 15 million.

It doesn’t stop there. If Newcastle manages to get him for free, the entourage also hopes to reap the benefits of the deal with a transfer bonus of fifteen million euros. At Barcelona, ​​there is a strong suspicion that Sissoko is postponing negotiations to bring Barcelona’s offer to the attention elsewhere. Time is running out for Barça and the negotiations cannot last forever. It has even been suggested that Dembele should fear for his place in the squad should he decide not to sign a new deal.
