The winter transfer window of the five major leagues is about to close, barca from Premier League club Wolves on loan to winger Traore, in this transfer window can also be regarded as some gains, but Barca's troubles have not yet been solved, that is Dembele. French striker Dembele moved from Borussia Dortmund to Barca in the summer of 2017 and his contract expires this summer. Now Dembele has made up his mind to move freely in the summer, while Barca want the French striker to leave in this transfer window and scrape back some of the transfer fee.
Barca initially had big expectations for Dembele, who wanted Dembele to replace Neymar. In the 2016-2017 season, Barca defeated Paris Saint-Germain 6:1 in the Champions League knockout rounds, and Paris Saint-Germain directly triggered Neymar's penalty of 220 million euros in the summer of 2017, bringing the Brazilian star to the Parc des Princes, so there was the so-called "you can't beat you to dig your players" statement, Barca has since greatly increased the liquidated damages of some potential players to prevent Neymar's things from happening again.
Neymar's departure brought Barca 220 million euros in cash, and the wealthy Barca began to look for a replacement for Neymar in the transfer market, eventually targeting The French striker Dembele, who played well at Borussia Dortmund, and the wealthy Barca paid Dortmund a fixed transfer fee of 105 million euros, in addition to a floating clause of 40% of the fixed transfer fee, accumulating a total of 147 million euros.
After joining Barca, Dembele did not have excellent statistics due to too many injuries in five seasons. Played 24 games in the first season, 42 games in the second season, 9 games in the third season, 44 games in the fourth season and only 11 games this season. Judging from the playing time, half of the five seasons have been recuperating, and Dembele's attendance is not high.
In terms of statistics, 4 goals and 10 assists in the first season, 14 goals and 8 assists in the second season, 9 goals and 1 assist in the third season, 11 goals and 5 assists in the fourth season, and 1 goal and 2 assists this season. Originally, barca could not renew his contract with Dembele's performance, but Barca with the departure of Messi and Griezmann, Aguero's retirement is really unavailable, so after Xavi took charge, he wanted to focus on dembele.
Barca began to want to renew Dembele's contract, perhaps Dembele did not want to renew barca from the beginning, but he could not directly tell Barca, so he proposed an annual salary of 40 million euros, such a request Barca can not meet him, if Barca has this money will not not renew his contract with Messi. The negotiations on the renewal of the contract between the two sides reached an impasse, and Barca saw that they could not move Dembele, so they simply abandoned him and issued an ultimatum to him and drove him away.
Barca believes that Dembele is not loyal enough to Barca, so there is no need to stay, but Dembele does not seem to want to leave early, because he wants to wait until the summer free transfer, saving the new owner a transfer fee, so that he can ask for more salary and signing fees. Barca are currently trying to sell Dembele to the outside world, asking for 18 million pounds, equivalent to about 21 million euros, barca released the news after the three giants are rushing to get, Dembele is really popular.
The first is Chelsea, although the Blues introduced Lukaku last summer, but Lukaku is very average, and due to The previous inappropriate remarks by Lukaku, the club's top management believes that Lukaku is not loyal enough to the team and is ready to sell the Belgian striker. Werner hasn't played in two premier league seasons, so Chelsea need a new striker and Tuchel wants to bring Dembele to Stanford. He once coached Dembele at Borussia Dortmund and knows how to use Dembele, mainly because Dembele's current transfer fee is not expensive.
The Daily Sport said that Chelsea is very likely to sign Dembele in this winter transfer window, which can avoid fierce competition in the summer, because in addition to Chelsea, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain also want to sign Dembele. The Daily Sport newspaper said Manchester United coach Lonnick was an admirer of Dembele and had wanted to bring Dembele to Red Bull Salzburg at an early age.
Paris Saint-Germain is due to the fact that Mbappe is likely to move to Real Madrid in the summer, and Paris needs a striker to replace Mbappe. Neymar's form has slipped significantly, Messi has been unable to open the game in Ligue 1, and Paris Saint-Germain also need to bring in a young striker to guarantee Paris's scoring ability. Dembele, who is a Frenchman, is actually quite technical, and if the injury is reduced, he will also be a very good striker.
Paris Saint-Germain are confident of developing Dembele as good players as Mbappe, so Paris also want to sign Dembele. Chelsea, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain are all interested in Dembele, which strengthens Dembele's determination not to renew his contract with Barca, because he does not worry about where to play. It's just that Barca, if they can sell now, will lose a little less, and in the summer, they will lose everything.
