'AS' reports that, after Ousmane Dembele's recent performances, Xavi Hernandez, his coach, remains one of the most confident that he will stay with the team. It is a hope he had already shown before the board tried to extend his contract without success.
Xavi Hernandez's view of Dembele has not changed. He thinks he can be one of the best on the planet in his position and is confident that he will end up staying at Barcelona beyond the end of his contract this summer. The newspaper 'AS' reports that the coach is one of those who most believe within the club that the Frenchman will stay where he is.
His recent performances have boosted him in terms of numbers and in terms of sensations. In terms of numbers, BeSoccer Pro has confirmed that his 2022 as an assistant is one of the best of the last decade. In terms of sensations, the bscheme enjoys much more bite when he is on the wing.
Moreover, for the moment, it has not come to light that the Frenchman has reached an agreement with any other club for the coming season. The likes of PSG have been strongly linked with a move to Barcelona, but in recent weeks, it seems that the rumours and offers have come to a halt.
The main problem for Dembele to renew his contract with Barcelona is still the same: money. There had already been serious approaches for him to sign his signature with the 'culé' seal, but the high demands of his agent were impossible for the board. To unravel the situation, the agent will have to do his part.
