At Barcelona, Dembele has yet to decide his future although it seems he would like to accept the challenge of playing in a Premier League team next season. Laporta made clear his desire for the player to stay after his fine form this season under Xavi, but anything is still possible as the decision rests with Dembele and his agent at the moment.
Chelsea will probably like him but I hope he ends up staying at Barcelona even though the team's financial situation is not good. There are good hopes for him at Barcelona especially because of Xavi, he is a player his current coach likes and Dembele is a mainstay in his current position.
The future of Ousmane Dembele is still the talk of many people, because there is no certainty whether Dembele extends the contract or moves
to another club. Even though Dembele's contract will run out in about 2 months. The Barcelona management and Xavi are desperate for Dembele
to stay, but it may be difficult to achieve that, because Barcelona is not able to provide a large salary. While Dembele has received several contract
offers from several big European clubs who are indeed eyeing Dembele, after Dembele started to put in a good form when Xavi came in.
Even Joan Laporta as Barcelona president himself admitted that Dembele might have been tempted by other club offers, so Dembele's chances of
extending his contract at Barcelona are very small.
Therefore, there are rumors that Barcelona are ready to anticipate if Dembele finally moves to another club, according to Catalan radio Barcelona
are considering signing Gnabry from Bayern whose contract expires in one year. There are also rumors that Barcelona really want Raphinha from
Leeds, but Barcelona are waiting for Leeds to confirm whether they are relegated or not, if until Leeds are relegated, it is certain that Raphinha's
chances of moving to another club are very large.
