Laporta about Dembélé: “There are no signs that he wants to stay”

Usman Tembele impresses on the pitch under the administration of Xavi in ​​Barcelona. However, off the field it is not yet clear whether the French player will be at the club.

It was very sad when Dembele did not want to leave the club from Barசாa’s side in January. Xavi, on the other hand, was clearly counting on the 24-year-old. Now President John Laporte has commented on the situation.

– We gave him an offer that expired on December 20 last year. He decided not to accept the offer. Now Xavi says he trusts him because he’s a player who makes a difference, and continues to tell Laborda Mundo Deportivo:

– Stretch with him? The replacement given to him has expired, and now we are working on the salary levels for next season, and everyone should be included. Those positions need to be placed at the right level to work for the club and the team.

Dembele has scored two goals and nine assists in 21 matches in the Bara shirt this season. Laborda, on the other hand, says there has been no progress on the negotiating table.

– Now there are no signs that he wants to stay. I do not know if Dembélé’s agent was contacted, but not in theory, because Laporta says I need to know about it and continues:

It must be within the limits set by us.

– After the season, I think there will be some kind of talk, but it has to be within the limits we set.

Dembele arrived in Barcelona in the summer of 2017 from Borussia Dortmund on a grand contract. Almost five years later, the Frenchman has made 139 appearances for the Spanish big club.
