"Dembele is an example, I would sign [his renewal] right now"

There were four questions for Xavi Hernandez about Ousmane Dembele in the press conference to preview Thursday's Europa League game against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Here is what the Barcelona coach had to say about the France international:

Dembele: "The club know my priorities in the sporting department and, for me, Ousmane is differential. I hope he stays with us. I have no problem repeating that he can be one of the best in the world in his position. There are few players with his qualities."

More Dembele: "You have to have differential players on the wing."

Renewals: "The club are working on the present and the future. Ousmane is an important player and I hope he decides to stay. Gavi, Araujo, Dembele... if we have them next year, the squad will be better."

Finances: "I would sign it now but it's up to the club and we don't have the best financial situation ever. Mateu Alemany, Jordi Cruyff and the president are working 24 hours a day."

Dembele training on his day off: "I can only speak from my time here and he's been an example, how he trains, his attitude, his commitment and his implication. I don't know how he was before but he's motivated, happy and a winner. It's not a surprise that he comes in on his day off."

Adama Traore: "We have a game tomorrow, Sunday, Thursday, Monday and we have to rotate. Adama will be important, that's clear."
