Barça want Ousmane Dembélé to extend his contract as head coach Xavi Hernández considers the 25-year-old an important part of his project.
The Frenchman extended his contract last summer. He’s happy at Barcelona so far, and the club are keen to keep him for many further years.
Having finally found fitness, Ousmane Dembélé has been impressive in the World Cup so far.
Xavi is fascinated by the fleet-footed forward’s performance with France and wants him to be key to the project.
Barcelona are hoping to extend Dembélé’s contract until 2025. However, if he does not wish to continue with the club, Barcelona will try to cash in on him.
Ousmane Dembélé will play World Cup semi-finals against Morocco, having been involved in two goals in five games as yet.
