Transfer rumours were speculating whether Barcelona would pursue Manchester City forward and Spain international Ferran Torres in January’s transfer window. Now there’s another question, even as Joan Laporta confirmed interest in Torres (football transfer news) – will Ousmane Dembele leave Barcelona? And the Barcelona president has finally answered it.
Indeed, the Barca president is also claiming that Ousmane Dembele, who’s rebelling against contract renewal, is “better than Kylian Mbappe”.
While a number of players are seeing potential moves to Camp Nou fail, there is also plenty of exit talk.
And World Cup winner Ousmane Dembele is among those to be generating speculation about his future with the Catalan club.
The France international will soon become a free agent because his Barcelona contract expires in the summer of 2022.
Despite this eventuality, Barcelona simply cannot arrive at an agreement over fresh terms with the 24-year-old.
Football Transfer News – Will Ousmane Dembele Leave Barcelona?
While we cannot directly answer this question, we can reassure fans that Barcelona intend to retain Dembele, per their chairman/president.
The Blaugrana president Joan Laporta remains convinced that Dembele, whom he holds in the highest regard, will commit to Barcelona.
Laporta said about the contract negotiation scenario: “We have a very good relationship with Dembele and he wants to stay. We also want him because he is a great player.
“These are situations that need a negotiation with the representatives who want the best for the player. I am enthusiastic about Dembele, he is better than Mbappe.”
