Fabrizio Romano has told the likes of Chelsea that Ousmane Dembele is free to leave Barcelona if he cannot agree a new deal, with reports claiming Chelsea have opened talks. Dembele has greatly frustrated since arriving at the Camp Nou. Due to a combination of both poor form and persistent injuries, he has made just 126 appearances for the Spanish giants, scoring 30 goals However, there has been some shock speculation in the media that we may be open to the idea of bringing him to the Premier League in order to add a bit more of a goal-threat to that Attack.
Dembele is out of contract at the end of the current campaign and talks between player and club over a Nou Camp extension have recently ground to a halt following the Frenchman’s substantial demands. The winger is reportedly pushing for an annual salary of £25million and a separate signing bonus of £25m, while his agent is believed to have stipulated a commission of £13m – demands which have been deemed ‘crazy’ by the Barcelona hierarchy, according to reports in Spain.
With a departure now appearing imminent, we have emerged as one of the frontrunners in the race for his signature having held discussions with the player this month, according to SPORT. Xavi has pulled no punches when delivering the latest on the winger, who is now deemed free to leave the club if he doesn’t sign a new deal ‘immediately.’ As per Fabrizio Romano, the Barca legend said:
“We can’t wait for Ousmane. [He] renews the contract or a solution to sell him must be found immediately”. “I don’t consider sending him to stands. He says he wants to stay but then he doesn’t sign.”
He then added: “The message is clear. Ousmane Dembele has to sign a new contract or we find a way to sell him in January. No other way. “I also wonder about agent is talking the way he is and Dembele, on the other hand, telling me he wants to stay. I can’t understand.”
Chelsea have made enquiries about the potential availability of Barcelona’s 17-year-old wonderkid Gavi Gavi is regarded as one of the most promising young players in Europe and Barca want him to be a fixture of their team for the next decade and more Despite the fact that he is stull very young, the teenager has already established himself in the first team at Camp, starting 13 La Liga matches this season, while he has also earned four caps for the Spanish national team.
However, the Spanish giants risk losing Gavi – who only has a contract until 2023 and is still on youth terms – and European rivals have started to circle, including us It is no secret that we like to splash the cash and sign some of the best young players in the game, and they have caught on to the fact that Gavi has real potential to develop into a star of the game And according to Spanish newspaper Sport, the club are extremely interested in the midfielder and have already been sounding out his camp, with the academy starlet ‘swimming in offers’.
Gavi has a release clause of €50million (£41m), which may seem steep for a 17-year-old but is seen by many as a bargain for a player who is expected to have an enormous future in the game. Barcelona are fully aware of the interest in their young midfield gem but have been assured by the player that his preference is to remain at Camp Nou.
We can make all the contact they want in a bid to land the young man, but at the end of the day, it will be very hard to prise such a talent away from a club like Barcelona, even if you are a massive team like ours We cant see him moving to the club anytime soon Chelsea target Sergio Dest will not be leaving Barcelona during the January transfer window, according to the right-back’s representative. Thomas Tuchel said himself at the start of December that he was not planning a busy transfer window, but confirmation that Ben Chilwell needs surgery, and will be out until the new year means that he needs to add to that back-line.
There has been a number of players linked with a transfer move to the Bridge, and the latest name to to linked is that of Dest. The right-sided defender, that can operate on the left, has become a reported target of the Blues as the board know Barcelona need funds in order to buy the quality of player Xavi needs to get the club back to the top of the game It had been claimed that Tuchel had told the board that he would like to the club to sign Dest this transfer window, either on loan until the end of the season or on a more permanent basis. However, despite all the speculation that we are preparing to put an offer on the table, His agent has opened up and announced that Dest is not looking to leave Barcelona this transfer window.
“Sergino feels good in Barcelona,” he told Ran. “It’s a great club. That’s why it’s actually rather unlikely at the moment.”
Dest is a quality player that would have been a decent replacement for Chilwell, so the fact that he is staying put will be a massive blow to the club. But they will need to act quickly if they are looking to sign some cover, as their January targets are either staying or closing in on other teams They need to start getting these transfer deals done sooner rather than later
