Paris have reached a verbal agreement with Dembele to bring him from Barcelona now

Usman Dembele is in no mood to accept Barcelona’s offer to extend his contract beyond June 2022 and this has put him in an extremely awkward position as the Catalans have hinted that if he doesn’t respond positively to their offer, they will reacts (they offer 14 million euros per year, whereby the player does not go below 20 million), then for the next six months they will watch the games from the podium.

With the situation between the two sides being well described as a Cold War, a contribution arrives from France to add even more fuel to the Dembele series. This comes from ‘Footmercato’, with this sports website claiming that Paris have verbally agreed with the player to take him from now on and it remains to reach an agreement with the Catalans within 24 hours to finalize the deal.

Until recently, Newcastle and Juventus were the most heard teams but Paris’ entry into the game creates different dates as Dembele would very much like to continue his career while he has also been developing an informal game with Barcelona for a number of years due to the transfers of Neymar (2017) and Lionel Messi (2021).

The same report underscores that Leonardo fully appreciates Dembele’s footballing abilities and is keen to complete the deal as the Parisians need fresh blood in their attack to marry with the vast experience that exists (Messi 34th, 33rd Di Maria, 29th Neymar). .

It remains to be seen how the Catalans will react to the Catalans’ flirtation and whether they will give in to the pressure they may face at the last minute as pulling the rope in the Dembela case has not benefited them in the past so far least.
