According to "Everybody", although Dembele refused Barca's contract extension, Xavi did not want to leave him in the stands because he was worried that there would be problems in the dressing room.
After weeks of waiting and great patience, Barca already knew for sure that Dembele had decided not to accept any offer from the club. The result has infuriated the club but not surprisingly, as they have realised that this is just a way of procrastination for the player and his agent, Dembele has decided everything from the start and all the negotiations are a waste of time and energy. So, Barca will start trying to find the most suitable solution for the club.
Apparently, Barca believe their relationship with the players has broken down and they will come up with three possible solutions within the 15-day deadline.
The first is to lower the player's transfer fee, even if it is sold at a very low price, but this possibility is ruled out, because Dembele has already told the club that it does not intend to transfer in this winter market. The second option is to make a deal with the player to terminate the remaining six-month contract and give him free rein. However, this can only be done with the consent of the player, as unilateral termination of the contract may be taken to court by the player and will not solve any problems. The third is that the club can also pay Dembele an amount of money he can accept and let him arrive at the club of his choice early in the summer, but this option also seems unrealistic.
As you can see, even the World Cup in December will not make Dembele change his mind, even if he will sit in the stands for half a year. In fact, Harvey didn't want to leave him in the stands because he was worried about problems in the dressing room and didn't want to see Dembele wasting his time here.
