A few days ago, for Barca to renew Dembele's contract, many media and fans were still a bullish posture and atmosphere, and many reports at the time were that Dembele would accept a salary cut and sign a new contract with the team, but now it seems that all this is just Barca's own whimsy. According to the latest reports, the Dembele team directly demanded an exaggerated annual salary of 40 million, and some media gave the specific reason for the failure of the contract renewal negotiation, that is, the players were not satisfied with the team's demand for him to cut his salary, and this side was still pursuing Haaland's high-value players.
In fact, it is necessary to point out that even when the previous report appeared, there were also many skeptical voices. Because from Dembele's work ethic, it is difficult for him to choose to share happiness and hardship with Barca at this time, but many reports at the time pointed out that he was willing to accept Barca's new contract with a salary cut and then sign a long contract. It was only at that time that many media claimed that the two sides would renew the contract, which did not attract enough attention.
But now, all the media have pointed out that barca and Dembele's contract renewal negotiations have failed, mainly because the player's team has asked for an annual salary of 40 million euros, and a renewal bonus of 20 million euros, these requirements are definitely unbearable for Barça now, of course, the more likely thing is that Dembele is just a way to coerce the team, he just wants to show that he does not want to renew his attitude. What's even more incredible is that Barça is still fantasizing about selling Dembele in January, or even asking for 50 million, which is incomprehensible.
There are two reasons why the Dembele team has proposed such excessive conditions, under normal circumstances. The first is that now Barça have signed Ferrantores at a high price, and it is rumored that they are still chasing Haaland, although the former is installment, but at least it means that the team still has money, and Haaland's transfer fees and commission prices are extremely expensive, and for players, when the club is asking them to cut salaries, this side is still constantly pursuing players with extremely high prices, which of course will make the players disgusted, and they are of course unwilling to cooperate.
Secondly, Dembele now has invitations from other teams on hand. Although the player's physical condition and professionalism are very worrying, but given his talent, age and the current situation that does not need a transfer fee next summer, there must be some teams willing to try it next summer, while other teams can give a much higher treatment than Barca, and now Barça, whether it is financial or strength, is actually a mess, then at such a time, It is normal for Dembele to choose to leave.
In addition, some of Barca's ideas and practices are indeed incomprehensible, such as the above-mentioned fantasy that they actually wanted to sell this player for 50 million in January, and secondly, when they renewed Dembele,000, they actually fantasized about allowing players to accept a contract linked to performance and salary. Judging from many previous operations and situations, if Barca can really successfully renew Dembele, it is a miracle.
