Ousmane Dembele's message of commitment to Barça
The French winger can leave for any club he likes at the end of the season for free
Ousmane Dembele’s situation needs to be solved. He was left out in January for a couple of games but Xavi has used him since, with Barcelona unable to force Dembele out in the winter window.
A couple of months later, Dembele is a key player again and was given an ovation by Barcelona fans after his performance against Sevilla. They had whistled him in his first appearances after January.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s signing has helped Dembele, on and off the pitch. The Frenchman has started five in a row in La Liga. He set up two against Real Madrid in the 4-0 Bernabeu thumping.
On social media, Dembele took action after the Sevilla match. He posted a photo of the game and wrote: “A very important win!” as a comment. It shows his increased focus on Barcelona, given he hasn’t often left messages of this kind on his social media accounts.
Mateu Alemany is negotiating with Dembele’s agent Moussa Sissoko over a potential extension of his deal.
