According to the Spanish program "El Chiringuito", Dembelé has had a conversation with Barcelona coach Xavi Hernández. In this conversation, the Frenchman clearly communicated that he will leave the club at the end of the season after receiving a great offer in recent weeks.
The 24-year-old French striker had started to be considered in Xavi Hernández's scheme for Barcelona matches. However, Dembelé's ambitions are different and do not include wearing the 'azulgrana' shirt.
"I have been informed that Dembelé has told Xavi not to count on him for next season. He has an offer from England with a lot of money. With a signing bonus because he would leave for free and they shouldn't plan with him for next season," said journalist Jota Jordi from "El Chiringuito".
When does Ousmane Dembelé's contract with Barcelona end?
One of the points that would hurt Barcelona the most regarding Ousmane Dembelé's decision is the economic aspect. The player's contract with the 'culés' ends on June 30, 2022, so from January 1, he can negotiate with any club in the world and arrive for free at a team starting on July 1.
"They will try to convince him to stay, but there are 25 days left for Dembelé to negotiate with any club in the world," as reported on "El Chiringuito".
Where will Ousmane Dembelé play next season?
According to Spanish media, one of the clubs aiming to have Ousmane Dembelé in their ranks is Newcastle United in the English Premier League. Similarly, the Frenchman will have to evaluate all options to decide his future for 2022.
Dembelé starting for Bayern Munich vs. Barcelona?
Despite this news from Spain, it has been revealed that Ousmane Dembelé would be one of the surprises in the Barcelona lineup for the match against Bayern Munich.
