After solving Coutinho and Umtiti, Barca's salary structure is gradually balanced, and there is a problem is Dembele, although Dembele's annual salary is not too high, but compared to his playing time and talent, Barca must adjust in salary, but also let Dembele's salary and attendance are proportional, and Dembele's side sees the best opportunity to leave Barca, and can also get a high salary. Therefore, the two sides have entered a dead end on the issue of contract renewal, because both sides have seen through each other's operations.
Dembele
Dembele's operation is actually very obvious, recently the media has been rumored dembele's renewal problem, since entering the contract year, Dembele's contract extension has not been negotiated on the table, that is, Dembele's agent is deliberately avoiding Barca's contract.
With only a few months left until Dembele's contract expires, Barca must discuss the renewal of the contract with Dembele, and Barca's contract extension, with an annual salary of 9.5 million euros, obviously cannot meet Dembele's requirements, so Dembele's rejection of the contract is also reasonable.
In other words, dembele's agent has seen through Barca's operation, is Barca really hoping to renew Dembele's contract? That's for sure, but after the contract extension, will it be reused, first of all, leaving aside Dembele's injury, Barca will not reuse Dembele at all, because Dembele has not helped Barca to achieve much in these four years, so after Barca renewed Dembele, the first purpose is to sell him to recover the transfer fee.
As for Xavi's hope that Dembele can become a member of his squad, it is also said that with Dembele's injury state and attitude towards the game, in fact, the Barca top brass has already seen through it, and Dembele does not have such a high ceiling. So after the renewal is to sell. Dembele agents are not stupid, take advantage of this time can get high salaries and high commissions, once with Barca to renew, next year to be sold, commissions and high salaries are just a luxury.
Barcelona
Barca's renewal of Dembele's contract has actually entered a dead end, Barca do not want Dembele to leave, has been under the guise of Xavi needs him, and Dembele's side, is not to renew Barca's contract, thinking that Barca's renewal conditions can not match Dembele's strength.
The 5-year, 200 million-euro contract is only for Barca, because no club will offer such a high salary to sign Dembele, so such a sky-high contract is only an excuse for Barca to be discouraged.
In fact, Barca's side has already seen through, Dembele is hoping that the summer window will leave for free, and Barca even has no way to take Dembele, sell it at a low price, the contract will expire soon, other teams will not pay any fees to sign Dembele, only willing to wait until the summer window arrives. Free termination, really can't put money to let him go quickly, this thing is not done like this, put Dembele in the stands, Dembele is not afraid of this punishment, because Dembele does not want to play at all.
Then Dembele's agent is still waiting for a high salary offer from other teams, and if other teams cannot be interested in Dembele, then it is possible to renew their contract with Barca, and Barca can only wait. There still doesn't seem to be a good way to do it.
summary
In fact, barca and Dembele's contract renewal problem has entered a dead end, Barca hope that Dembele can renew the contract as soon as possible, even if it is sold next year, Barca will also recover some transfer fees, and Dembele agents hope to use this free body to help Dembele get a high-paying contract, while they also have a generous commission, doubles have actually seen through each other's operations. There is no way, now the initiative is on Dembele's side. Barca had no choice but to wait.
