According to Sport, Dembele’s current contract expires in 2022 and to ensure they do not lose him next summer, Barca are set to offer the future a deal that runs until 2025. It is understood that the La Liga club wants to resolve the situation until now. and the end of the season. Any stumbling block in terms of overtime is likely to be due to Barcelona’s current financial situation caused by the pandemic and years of poor management of the club’s finances.
If Dembele does not want to stay and an agreement is not reached, Sport also reveals that the player will be placed on the transfer market this summer with a number of clubs that are said to be watching the edge game.

Dembele cost Barcelona over 120 million pounds but until this season it would have been fair to say that he had not met expectations at Camp Nou. If his future is not resolved soon, the club, which is already in financial trouble, has the prospect of losing him on a free transfer in just over a year, so it would make sense to make money this summer.
Injuries have been a problem throughout his career in Spain and have limited him to just 110 appearances for Barca. The discussion about his future has been going on for several seasons, but considering all of the above – it seems that the summer represents a crossroads for both the club and Dembele.
