The Dembele saga is required to end before 30th July, when the winger becomes a free agent and will no longer be a Barcelona player. Despite the negotiations to renew his contract starting in January, the Catalans still have not sealed his signature and are now preparing their final offer for the player.
'Jijantes' stated that due to the time pressure, Barca's board demanded the presence of Dembele's agent, who landed this Monday to listen to the club's final offer. Everything will be resolved, in theory, between Monday and Thursday.
Mateu Alemany will meet up with his agent and reveal the club's final offer. 'Sport' claimed that this will contain a salary of six million euros net, with another 1.5 million in add ons, although this will only be paid if a number of conditions are met.
The same source also mentioned that "there will be no renewal bonus" and that Barca will demand an answer from Sissoko before Thursday to put an end to the saga. Whether this drama has a happy or a sad ending for the Spanish club and their fans remains to be seen.
If Dembele decides that he won't extend with 'los cules' and end his time at the club, the Frenchman will have five enticing offers to pick from. Chelsea, PSG, Bayern Munich and Liverpool are trying to land the 2018 World Cup winner.
