Ousmane Dembele’s contract with Barcelona expires after this season. The club assumed the contract would be extended, but now that Dembele’s demands are on the table, there appears to be no deal.
Ousmane Dembele played brilliantly for a year at Borussia Dortmund, after which Barcelona agreed to buy him for 135 million euros in the summer of 2017. Four years later, the love between Barcelona and the 24-year-old winger has subsided. .
The financial situation in Catalonia is no longer you and Barcelona are asking many players to make some concessions as the club complains about the exorbitant wages of players that were reduced in an earlier era.
In contract negotiations with Ousmane Dembele, the Frenchman seemed unwilling to compromise. According to Barcelona observer Gerard Romero, Dembele is asking for a gross monthly salary of €40 million and a signing bonus of €20 million. It is said that Barcelona fell on the heels of Dembele’s demands and is not willing to accede to the request.
