Barça's Alemany: Dembele renewal can't be put off much longer
The French forward is in the final six months of his deal at Camp Nou
Barcelona director of football Mateu Alemany spoke at Ferran Torres' presentation about several issues currently ongoing at the club.
He touched on the salary limit, registering Torres and Dani Alves and also on Ousmane Dembele's contract status.
Dembele is out of contract in the summer and Alemany said the club hope the player's camp respond to their final offer in the coming days.
"It's not true there will be another meeting," Alemany said. "There has been contact with his camp for months. They know the club's position, that we want him to stay.
"There's a renewal offer on the table and that's with them. It can't be put off for much longer, we're waiting for a definitive answer."
On registering Torres and Alves, he added: "The reality is when we signed him we knew we didn't have the salary limit," director of football Mateu Alemany, seated alongside Laporta, explained.
"Since then, we've been working hard and we're convinced we will be able to register him before Sunday. We want him available for the coach [Xavi Hernandez] as soon as possible.
"We have room to register Dani Alves, which we will do today or tomorrow. We made an exception with Ferran to sign him [without the room]. We will decide with Xavi on any more [January] signings, but there will need to be exits first. We have until the end of the month."
