After the introduction of 55 million Ferran Torres, Barca will open the "cleaning mode". According to the Daily Sport, Barca have asked Dembele and Umtiti to ask for an appointment, but they refuse to accept it. In addition, Dembele's outrageous contract renewal conditions have angered the club, and Barca are also considering the winter window to release the French striker.
After Xavi took office, the first request was for the club to keep Dembele, and the new Barca boss has high expectations for the 24-year-old France international. However, the renewal negotiations between Barca and Dembele are not going well, and it is reported that the latest renewal conditions proposed by Dembele's agent to Barca are: Dembele's total income per season reaches 30 million euros, giving the agent 15 million euros, and the players also get a renewal bonus of 30 million euros. Barca considered such conditions unacceptable.
Barca's attitude is clear that they will not improve the offer and the club will inform Xavi that they will try to sell Dembele in January or put players in the stands until the end of the season. Barca are willing to negotiate an early termination and the Red and Blues are not sure if the Frenchman will accept the offer, but the club believe Dembele has his own plans and he is waiting for the call from Paris, who wants to play with Messi and Neymar.
Dembele's situation is a headache, and Barca's plans to sack Coutinho and Umtiti are also in trouble. The 2 players refused to leave the team in the winter window and they wanted to stay. Coutinho is one of Barca's highest-paid players, Umtiti is not in Xavi's plans, and Barca may try to persuade the two to leave the club on loan.
With the introduction of Ferran Torres, Barca still plan to continue to strengthen the front. It is reported that the Red and Blues have expressed interest in Morata, and Xavi wants to get the former Real Madrid striker. However, at present, Morata plays for Juve on loan, Barca must negotiate with Atletico, the condition offered by the Red and Blues is a loan loan + a mandatory buyout of 35 million euros in the summer of 2022, Juve's reply is to find a replacement for Morata first, Barca are willing to add Depay to the deal, but the Bianconeri are not interested.
In addition, Barca also hope to send the right player Dest away in the winter window, and Xavi's inspection of him has ended. Both Bayern and Chelsea have expressed interest in the U.S. international, but Destin himself is willing to stay at Barca and he wants to prove himself under Xavi.
