It's no secret that Barcelona is keen to resuming negotiations with Ousmane Dembele about extending his contract.
Barcelona veteran Hristo Stoichkov, on the other hand, believes that extending Dembele's contract is a bad idea
Around the turn of the year, things between Barcelona and Ousmane Dembele became tight when the winger rejected down the club's contract offer.
However, with the player's recent good performances, tranquility has been restored between the two parties.
The attacker has seven assists in his previous five La Liga outings, which has undoubtedly influenced Barcelona's decision to proceed with contract negotiations.
Instead of renewing his contract, Hristo Stoichkov feels the club should take advantage of the Frenchman's final months at the Camp Nou.
On Radioestadio's 'Onda Cero,' he said (via Marca):
"Dembelé would not be renewed by me.
Allow him to go now and pretend he wants to stay if he wants to renew.
He is unaware of the club's history.
He performs admirably in two or three games...
You must take advantage of his abilities until his contract expires."
Ousmane Dembele has made 21 appearances for Barcelona in all competitions this season, scoring two goals and assisting nine times.
According to reports, the Frenchman may change his decision and remain at Camp Nou beyond the end of the season.
Meanwhile, swoops for the attacker have been connected with Manchester United, Liverpool, and Chelsea in recent months.
It'll be interesting to see where he'll wind up playing next season.
