Dembele wants to renew the demands of his agent ‘Dorn’ with Barcelona
Usman Dembele hasn’t changed his position on the question of his extension with Barcelona, but his agent’s financial demands are still ‘blocking’ the renewal of their partnership.
Barcelona have long been in talks with Usman Dembele over extending his contract, which expires next summer. Today’s (01/03) article in Catalan Mundo Deportivo states that the only thorn in the side of the case remains the footballer’s agent Musa Sissoko.
The Catalans want to keep the player in his potential as they believe in his potential despite the injuries he’s sustained and won’t let him help the team as much as both sides would like while the player is ready to do so, according to the publication is update.
To do this, his agent must lower his demands and show a “sign” of goodwill for renewal. Dembele returned to the Blaugrana’s competitive commitments as he was temporarily sidelined by Xavi in the final days of January when his departure from the team was intensely ‘played’.
