Barcelona | Dembele chaos

There is chaos with Ousmane Dembele (15-5-199). According to sources close to Barcelona, ​​the player is very close to Paris Saint-Germain and it is certain that he has already signed a contract with the Parisian club.Until the few hopes that had existed that he would expand with FC Barcelona disappeared. However, contradictory information arrives from Paris. The stalemate in PSG after the elimination against Madrid, Pochettino’s future and, above all, Leonardo up in the air, calls for a lack of strength. Without a future folder because the club’s sporting leadership, coach and technical secretary, could move in in a few months.

After negotiations collapsed last January, when talks between Mathieu Alemani and the player’s agent Moussa Sissoko did not bear fruit, there was little hope of continuing Dembele, who was ordered by the club to find a way out and even been excluded from two calls (Athletic and Alaves). the fact that the club raised its penalty; He returned to play and perform under Xavi’s orders, raising new expectations. The coach had said on the day of his presentation that Dembele was a “good coach” who could be “the best player in the world in his position”. And in just two months, he appointed him as the best assistant in La Liga.

Dembélé’s professional behavior, the seven assists in his last five matches; The way he celebrated the victories and his commitment to the group, made it possible to think that a withdrawal was possible and negotiations on his renewal would be reopened. But Barcelona is pessimistic. So much so that he conveys this feeling and certainty that the player will end up in Paris Saint-Germain, where he will be a replacement for Mbappe. But from Paris, this is not taken for granted.

Dembele feels comfortable and highly respected by Xavi, who has improved him. The player confirms in the locker room that he has not signed anything with any club, moreover, that he would be willing to accept the reduction of his record to continue as a Barcelona player. That’s yes, he accepts that PSG is one of the interested clubs. The player promised to focus on his game while at Barcelona and he’s achieving it. He wants to take advantage of the remaining minutes of the season. In the background, he knows he also has the World Cup in Qatar in November. His injury is serious in the last European Championship, and one of the challenges he faces is regaining the confidence of Didier Deschamps, which left him out of the last list. Dembele realizes that Deschamps is only satisfied on the basis of performance and therefore is trying to isolate himself from negotiations over his future to focus on the pitch. Once he found some continuity in the past two seasons, Dembele was the player many expected. He’s still a bit chaotic but better at decision-making and unbalanced like at the Bernabéu. The issue of its renewal is still open.
