Ousmane Dembele offered Barcelona contract renewal until 2028

Barcelona is looking to secure the future of Ousmane Dembele, offering him a contract extension until 2028. The news comes after a meeting between the player’s representative, Moussa Sissoko, and Barca sports leadership, Mateu Alemany and Jordi Cruyff. The meeting served as a first contact to express both parties’ intentions, without discussing figures.

Barca executives conveyed their desire to renew the Frenchman’s contract, expressing their satisfaction with his performance throughout the season and his involvement with the club. Dembele, on the other hand, expressed his eagerness to continue with the Catalan club, feeling comfortable in the team and enjoying the confidence of Xavi.

However, there is a contractual problem regarding the decrease in Dembele’s termination clause. Currently set at 100 million euros, during the months of June and July, it drops to 50 million euros, making him a target for other clubs. Despite this, Dembele has no intention of using this clause and wishes to renew his contract with Barcelona.

Barcelona want Ousmane Dembele until 2028

As a response, the club is offering the player a long-term contract that will see him stay until 2028. Dembele is a valuable player for Barca, and Xavi and the entity are committed to his future, despite early problems during his time with the club.

The player’s representatives will now assess the club’s proposal, and negotiations will commence. The club hopes to finalize the deal before the departure of Mateu Alemany on June 30. It appears both parties want the same objective, indicating that an agreement is likely.

Regarding the salary mass, the club is not too worried since Dembele’s salary for next season is already contemplated. He has one more year left on his contract, and for the 2024-25 season, the club is not as restricted as they are for the next season.

In conclusion, Barcelona is eager to secure the future of Ousmane Dembele and continue their fruitful relationship with the Frenchman. The negotiations will be essential in agreeing on a deal that benefits both the player and the club.
