According to the "As" newspaper, even though Dembele's contract extension has not been resolved, Barca coach Xavi's attitude has always been very clear, that is, for the rest of the season, he does not want to put players in the stands.
If Dembele ultimately fails to find his next home in the next 48 hours, Xavi will meet with club president Laporta and football director Alemani to find a satisfactory solution for all parties. At the same time, Barca also consider that if a player of this level in the club is unable to play, it may be very disadvantageous in the end, especially in the face of competition this season and the team's unfinished goals.
Harvey believes that seeing teammates training every day but not being able to play affects the rest of the team' players, and from a club perspective, even if Dembele does not play, they need to pay their salaries. In fact, Dembele's failure to make the squad in the past two games has been considered a one-off decision by the team, and they will not continue to do so in the coming months.
However, if the next few days cannot find a home for Dembele, then trying to solve Dembele's problems will be complicated. Harvey's view is that the best solution is to get Dembele to leave and then the club bring in two more players to reinforce. But if Dembele ends up staying in the winter window, leaving him in the stands until June is considered the worst and most risky solution.
