The renewal negotiations between Barca and Dembele, which have lasted for nearly a year, will eventually end in a rupture. According to French journalist Santa Aouna, Dembele's agent opened his mouth in the renewal negotiations with Barca, demanding a salary of 40 million euros + a bonus of 20 million euros, which eventually led to the breakdown of negotiations between the two sides. Clubs including Paris, Bayern, Chelsea, Manchester United and Newcastle have contacted Dembele's agent.
Dembele's negotiations for a contract extension are protracted, and the key reason is the unreasonable demands of the player's agent. And Barca will also lose in this sky-high transfer.
In the summer of 2017, Neymar left the team with a transfer fee of 220 million euros. This funding did not bring new glory to Barca, but gradually drilled into the net of its own knot. Barça executives, who have received huge sums of money, seem to have a sense of retaliatory consumption and have begun to frantically seek comfort in the transfer market. They set their sights on Dembele, who had been shining at Dort for a season, and persuaded Dort to release them with a €105 million + 40% floating offer.
In fact, from the various farces in the process of this transaction, we can also see that Dembele's professionalism is problematic. In order to force Dort to release people, Dembele played "Disappear" and missed the team's training. Later, after leaving Dort, he was also sued by the landlord for the dirty and messy room, and was fined 10,000 euros.
After joining Barca, his self-discipline problems also came to camp Nou. Playing games all night led to late training; feeling unwell after the game, not choosing to inform the club of the situation, but directly starting the holiday, etc. When we talk about Dembele, the first thing that comes to mind is not talent, but professional attitude. The frequency with which a young player suffers injuries is inextricably linked to the indiscipline of life.
Such a performance is completely ashamed of the sky-high transfer fee that Barca paid for him, as well as the tens of millions of annual salaries in the past few years. Even so, Dembele not only did not have any guilt and gratitude, but instead took advantage of the club's financial difficulties when the lion opened its mouth. Does he deserve an annual salary of €40 million? How has he performed in the past few years without a single point in his mind? This kind of falling ground has also attracted unanimous resistance from various clubs and teams.
"This man is rotten, and the magnates are blind and introduce him. What's the use of buying a bad one? 1 year was spent in hospital beds and games, and if Bayern bought him, he would be pit in the future. Bayern fans spoke directly to everyone's heart.
Annual salary is linked to performance, and players who perform much better than Dembele in football today do not have an annual salary of 40 million. Which tycoon introduces him, once he is as sick in bed for a long time as in the Barça period, spending time in games and entertainment, it will become the focus of ridicule from the outside world.
But having said that, once Dembele becomes a free agent, there is no place to go, such as the Greater Paris. With Mbappe almost certain to leave the squad, Greater Paris needed a counterpoint reinforcement. Dembele was called the "Twin Stars" of the French front with Mbappe that year, and the talent was comparable. Losing Mbappe for free, if they can get visa-free Dembele, is attractive for greater Paris, and they also have the ability to meet the salary requirements. Moreover, the overall level of Ligue 1 is not as good as La Liga, and Dembele has reached a relatively relaxed league environment, which is possible to be activated.
In the other clubs, Bayern were excluded first. Although It is possible for Koeman to leave the team, Dembele's salary requirements are not in line with Bayern's concept of building a team; Manchester United have also had a scandal with Dembele before, and Anthony Martial may also leave the team. But paying such a high salary for a rotating player, and still a problem player, Lonnick could not agree to such a deal; Chelsea did not lack wingers; Newcastle did have money, but Eddie Howe could not even look up to Martial, and Dembele was even less likely to be his target.
