FC Barcelona are within the clutches of some dire times as the summer transfer window continues its trend. Following the approval of the financial feasibility plan, things were expected to take a turn for the better, but reality has been far from it.
Lionel Messi was the very first casualty, as the Argentine was one of the club’s top priorities. Yet the recent announcement of his transfer to MLS side Inter Miami has since shaken all such hopes and dreams of a possible reunion.
However, as per a report from SPORT, it appears that a glimpse of hope may be in store for fans of La Blaugrana. FC Barcelona and French winger Ousmane Dembele is expected to face no problems in renewing his contract with the club despite it not having been closed just yet.
Expected to have his release clause drop to €50 million during the summer with the possibility of any interested side stealing him away by paying that amount remaining a very real possibility.
In actuality, as it stands, it appears that the lowered release clause will not lead to the player’s departure. Moreover, a proposal to extend until 2027 remains on the table for the Frenchman and the response has been quite positive from the side of the forward thus far.
Having been instrumental under Xavi Hernandez and finding his best form, the coach is determined to ensure the Frenchman’s continuity at FC Barcelona for years to come.
During his 185 games for the Catalan club, the player has scored 40 goals and also provided a further 43 assists. The Frenchman has also collected various titles with the team that includes 3 La Liga titles, 2 Copa Del Rays, and 2 Spanish Supercups, showcasing a successful tenure in terms of domestic silverware.
