The winger is saying one thing while it seems his agent is saying another

Ousmane Dembele spoke to Xavi today, after the news that said he was going to say no to the renewal offer Barcelona have made. 

However he found Dembele saying he was happy at Barcelona and was likely to renew his deal. Dembele even thanked the coach for his trust in him on the pitch and his words in public.

Xavi, like in recent chats, reiterated to him the need to take a step forward with his contract renewal.

He believes that Moussa Sissoko is holding too much weight in the renewal, and that the player should get more involved in the process.

Dembele insists that it is his agent that has to manage the renewal numbers and the situation is blocked up because of this.

Barcelona expect new contact with them on Wednesday, getting a definitive response from Sissoko. From there, various scenarios open. The least problematic is that he renews and is still important.

The other options are less comfortable. One is that there is still no answer. The other is a negative. If it’s one of these then Xavi and the club will have to decide what to do. To force him out, drop him or bet on him until June regardless.
