They say some matches are made in heaven, as looked the case with Ousmane Dembele and Barcelona when the Frenchman was brought for a whopping amount of money from Borussia Dortmund. But since his arrival at Camp Nou, things have not gone right for the player.
Being constantly plagued by injuries, Dembele is yet to find his best version at Barcelona. Although he has shown glimpses of why he was bought for such a massive price, the consistency has never been there.
The arrival of Xavi Hernandez has rejuvenated the hopes of Dembele to finally succeed as a Blaugrana. The coach fully trusts the winger and has even publicly admitted that the Frenchman is an important part of his project.
But with good news comes the bad. Dembele's contract is expiring in the summer of 2022. Barcelona have already started negotiations and presented a renewal offer to the player. According to reports, Ousmane Dembele and his agents consider Barcelona's offer low.
Despite Barça and Xavi's continuous effort, he hasn't yet responded to the club's offer. The negotiations are continuing, but time is running out. The player will be free to negotiate with other clubs from January, with the likes of Newcastle United and Manchester United reportedly interested. Barcelona fears that Dembele will leave the club for free in June.
