Barcelona set for one final meeting with Ousmane Dembélé’s agent | OneFootball

There may yet be hope for Ousmane Dembélé and his Barcelona career.

It has been a rather dramatic week or so for the winger, who had been in negotiations over a new contract over recent weeks.

Barca have been making proposals for more than a month with their French winger out of contract in the summer.

But last week, it became clear that the latest proposal had been rejecting after Barca had waited patiently for an answer.

Following the emergence of that news, Barca boss Xavi Hernandez made it clear that if Dembélé doesn’t renew, he will be sold during this window so that the Blaugrana can recover at least some of the more than €100million they paid for the winger in 2017.

Club chiefs have echoed the same sentiment, and Dembélé has since been left of Barca’s latest matchday squad.

The winger has also stayed away from training with illness, though, that could, of course, be a cover given the situation.

In the meantime, it seems Dembélé may yet have a hope of sticking around, if indeed he wants it.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Dembélé’s agent Moussa Sissoko has arrived in Barcelona this afternoon ahead of one final meeting with Barca’s chiefs.

Both parties will see if an agreement can be reached one more time ahead of deciding on the next best course of action.

A pivotal meeting awaits.
