According to Jose Alvarez Haya, a reporter for Spanish television six, Barca offered Dembele an annual salary of 8 million euros, and the players demanded 20 million euros for signing fees.
There are more and more indications that dembele and Barca's contract extension is going very well, but fans still have some doubts, because the better Dembele performs, the more worried the fans are, because Dembele has always spent four years in injury, why in the renewal year but behaved like a god, maybe dembele will return to flat after the renewal, which is the main reason why fans still do not want Barca and Dembele to renew their contracts.
Barca have always expressed positive opinions about Dembele's contract extension, although the super high annual salary and commission required by Dembele's agent once made Barca think that this renewal was very difficult, and it was even possible that Dembele only wanted to leave the team after the end of the season, and deliberately embarrassed Barca.s statement.
After a period of playing, Dembele actually became the core player of the team, and after Messi left, Dembele seemed to replace Messi's role, not only being able to encourage teammates on the field, but also giving assists to the team, becoming the assist king, and most importantly, the injury has been far away from Dembele, which makes fans puzzled. Could it be that the previous injuries were all pretended by Dembele?
Dembele is getting better and better, and the more Barca feels that losing Dembele will be a huge loss, so it has repeatedly proposed to renew Dembele's contract, but the agent refuses to renew barca on the grounds of super high annual salary, and Barca made the last offer, waiting for Dembele to offer negotiations.
Recent negotiations between Dembele and Barca have indeed made some progress, but Barca have not changed their original offer for Dembele, with an annual salary of 8 million euros. This annual salary has indeed been given enough sincerity, and if Dembele is still lying flat after the renewal of his contract, this is another big gamble for Barca.
However, the Dembele agent asked for 20 million euros in signing fees, which also proved that Dembele also made concessions, no longer entangled in the annual salary issue, but through the signing fee to make up for the lack of annual salary, through this point, Dembele and Barca's contract renewal is positive, if Barca agrees to the signing fee requested by the Dembele agent, then Barca may also leave a backhand on the contract.
Dembele's injury problem has always been the focus of the team's concern, Barca and Dembele renewed, the only concern is whether Dembele will continue to be injured after the renewal and can not help the team, so Barca will definitely add a clause in the contract extension that is linked to the time of playing and annual salary.
If Dembele and Barca renew their contracts, they will determine Dembele's annual salary and bonus according to the playing time, of course, this is two aspects, if Dembele continues to be injured, then he will certainly not be able to get a matching annual salary, but on the other hand, if Dembele spends every season in his current state, then the huge bonus income will also be sent to his hands.
summary
In summary, Dembele has made concessions by proposing a signing fee of 20 million euros, and if Barca leaves a backhand, the signing with Dembele will be positive and smooth. If it is a five-year contract, in other words, Dembele's annual salary will reach 12 million euros, which is indeed worth the money for Dembele now. But Dembele may not be able to get a matching salary if he can't get a stable playing time. This is not a loss for Barca.
