After setting up Pedri for the winner in the 71st minute of a crucial La Liga match against Sevilla, Ousmane Dembele received a standing ovation at the Camp Nou on Sunday.After Xavi Hernandez took over from Ronald Koeman, Barca moved up to second place in La Liga with the win. Mateu Alemany then proceeded to Marrakech, Morocco, the next day to meet with the agent of the team's assist leader (10) in a "peace summit" dubbed by Dembele's entourage as a "peace summit" by Mundo Deportivo, where they made an important demand of their charge's employers since 2017.
Alemany claimed Dembele should leave the club immediately because he wasn't devoted to the cause after Moussa Sissoko had previously demanded outrageous sums from a club in over $1.5 billion in debt. Others said that if Barca were unable to offload Dembele, he should be sent to France. Xavi Hernandez refused to do so, instead taking Dembele under his wing and grooming him into one of, if not the best player in the world in his position, as Xavi prophesied, while also topping not only the team but also Europe's top five leagues in assists in 2022.MD points out that Sissoko told Alemany that his client now wants to continue in Blaugrana colors under Xavi and that, contrary to common misconception, he has not signed a contract with any other club, such as Paris Saint-Germain.
Dembele's camp admired Alemany's eagerness to comprehend their predicament, but he was adamant that Barca must adhere to a stringent salary structure that cannot be compromised in any manner.
Dembele's entourage can be flexible to reach a deal and recognize the club's financial circumstances, according to Alemany. They recognize that Barca cannot compete "on an equal basis" with the rest of the continent's clubs at the moment, but they also believe that the Catalans cannot undervalue the number As a result, if Barca's offer is significantly lower than the ones Dembele has received, the winger will be unable to stay at Camp Nou.
There were no fresh offers or discussions provided by Barca at their most recent meeting with Alemany, but the proposition made in December, which president Joan Laporta mentioned in a recent interview, was confirmed as abandoned.
Dembele's team insists that they have not requested a shorter deal and instead prefer a longer one. The two parties will now meet in Barcelona next week, according to reports, but even if the talks have stalled, Dembele's camp is more confident than previously, according to MD."7."e.
