The future of Ousmané Dembélé is further and further away from Spain and FC Barcelona, all this after rejecting the last offer of renewal by the Barça leadership. That is why the French attacker’s agents have made their salary claims very clear and what it would mean to lose the player from 24 years.
Moussa Sissoko, Dembélé’s main agent declared in an interview with RMC Sport that the leaders of FC Barcelona are losing him and that Joan Laporta, nor Mateu Alemany have not done their part to when negotiating a new contract.
“We don’t know what will happen, nothing has been agreed/signed. But the leaders are losing Ousmane alone. From the beginning we have shown the will to talk, with conditions, of course, but without closing the door”, declared the Frenchman’s agent.
According to other information from different media outlets, the environment of the French attacker are demanding a token valued at 200 million euros for five seasons and a bonus for their agents of 40 million net. Figures that were flatly rejected due to the delicate economic situation that the club is going through.
“They cannot play the threat that Dembélé will spend six months without playing if he does not renew now. It’s a kind of pressure that doesn’t work with people like us. Maybe it will work with other agents, but not with me. I am defending the interests of the player”, added Moussa Sissoko to the press.
“We are not here to feed the discussions on social networks. But you have to tell the truth. Yes, we have demanding demands, but we have already shown that Ousmane’s career options were not dictated by money, otherwise he would not be here,” the player’s agent commented.
It should be noted that Joan Laporta and Mateu Alemany are not in the business of letting the Frenchman go free if they do not accept the renewal. That is why they have already offered the attacker to Premier League teams, such as Newcastle United and Manchester United. In addition to the option of leaving it in the stands.
“So, if Barcelona had wanted to negotiate, they could have tried to sit down at the table with us to discuss. Except that there is no discussion and only threats not to play on his team anymore. And that is prohibited. We will assert the rights of Ousmane Dembélé if necessary“, sentenced Moussa Sissoko.
However, there is still no clear agreement between both parties, but what is clear is that relations between the player’s agent and the Barça board are completely broken and everything points to it being the soap opera of the year and more when the transfer market closes on January 24.
