Barcelona was threatening and now they will be forced to keep their word – Ousmane Dembele decided to stay with Barcelona until June and refused a letter of release offered by the Catalonians. And now, he will fell the consequences. On the other hand, Barcelona president thinks that the player has an agreement with another club already. What a drama for such a big club….⚡ For the match-winning moments 🙅♂️ For the iconic celebrations 😀 For making us smile Thank you for everything, @Auba ❤️— Arsenal (@Arsenal) February 1, 2022 Barca was ready even to deal with the ’enemy’ (PSG) to offload the player in the January transfer window, but the deal broke down (the Parisian couldn’t sell any of their players) and Dembele refused an offer from England (presumably Tottenham) so now, Barcelona has no other option but to fulfill their promise – not to play him again until June.„We offered him the renewal, with a very good offer. Later it turned out that it was an economic issue, that he wanted more. We told him that we wanted him to renew, but the issue got stuck. We’ve done everything possible. We presented him with two proposals and they were good. We are very surprised that he did not accept. The last one was from an English club and he did not want to, he preferred to stay here for six months . It is not good neither for him nor for the club, because his renewal gave us salary margin and we would not have been having to work until the last minute. The Dembele thing is difficult to understand. We think he has an agreement with another club. This is what his agent has insinuated to us. We will act in the interest of the club” said president Laporta today.(2.30) CAMEROON (3.05) EGYPT (3.80)The club tried to get rid of him and offered him a letter of release, which the player refused. He seems keen to sit on the bench for the next four months and collect his money. And the money is big. Really big. So far, Barcelona has invested a sum of at least 23 billion Ksh in Dembele. Each of his goals costs 728 million Ksh, each minute he played was 3 million Ksh, and each game costed Barcelona 178 million Ksh. And to make things worse, the Frenchmen also created problems for Barca in terms of player selection. Since he didn’t leave and Aubameyang signed for the club (as a free agent), coach Xavi had to make a choice and leave out one of his new signings from Europa League. He can’t play them all, so Dany Alves will not be registered for European matches, but rather Traore, Torres and Aubameyang, who signed a one and a half year deal and took a significant pay cut in order to play for Barca.
