Barca fear that Dembélé leaves the Camp Nou for free

After the injury to Ansu Fati and his subsequent operation, the figure of Ousmane Dembélé once again takes centre stage in the ranks of a Barcelona Football Club that is confident that the French player, as long as the physique respects him, will take a definitive step forward.

Surrounded by numerous transfer rumours, these seem to not have distracted a Dembélé who this season has scored three goals and got an assist in just 326 minutes of play with Barcelona.

If the French international maintains his great performance and finally reasserts himself as an unbalanced and decisive footballer, all the spotlights will be on him. Something that, in part, the Catalan team fears for the future.

And the ex-Dortmund player, who is just 23 and whose contract ends in 2022, so in just over 12 months (January 2022), could negotiate to leave for free to any big club, something that they are already considering at Barcelona.

In fact, according to a report from 'Sport', those close to the Catalan club think that Ousmane's aim is to run down his current deal with Barca to then leave for free to another big club.

The only way for the Catalan outfit to avoid this would be through a succulent renovation, something that seems complicated at the moment due to the difficult economic situation of a side that negotiates with its staff a salary reduction to face and readjust its accounts to the losses caused by the coronavirus.
