Barca manager Xavi Hernandez has warned that the Blaugrana will look elsewhere if that continues. According to the tactician, there are just two options on the table: either Dembele renews his contract or the club comes up with a solution.
Barcelona have become desperate to tie Ousmane Dembele to a new deal at Camp Nou as the Frenchman’s current contract expires this summer. It is understood the 24-year-old is open to staying but his hefty wage demand has been a stumbling block.
Xavi is a huge admirer of Dembele, with the tactician revealing he’s got a significant role for the winger on multiple occasions already.
Regardless, the Spaniard maintains the club’s interest should be the priority, admitting the situation is quite complicated for all concerned parties.
Ousmane Dembele drawing interest from multiple clubs
While his contract renewal saga with Barcelona drags on, Ousmane Dembele is already attracting interest from multiple clubs across Europe.
According to Spanish publication Sport, Manchester United and Newcastle United are among the potential destinations for the attacker.
So far this season, Dembele has made 11 appearances for Barca across all competitions, recording one goal and two assists to his name. It remains to be seen where the whole saga will lead in the coming weeks.
