However, negotiations to extend his deal have reached an impasse.
Xavi sounded optimistic recently when asked on Dembele’s future, by claiming that he could accept a reduced terms deal, but the mood appears to have changed. With less than six months remaining on the player’s deal, he has been free to discuss pre-contract terms with clubs outside of Spain since the start of the year.
The 24-year-old has spent five years at the Nou Camp, but now looks set to leave either as a free agent at the end of the season or in a cut-price deal this month. Barca paid £105million – in a deal rising to a potential £135m – to sign Dembele from Borussia Dortmund in 2017.
