Ousmane Dembele and FC Barcelona appear to be on the verge of confirming the French international winger’s new contract after he trained with the first-team squad on Tuesday.
Dembele, who joined Barca in 2017, is officially still a free agent after his previous contract with Barcelona expired on June 30th after months of talks failed to see the club and player reach an agreement over a new deal.
However, the player’s willingness to accept a pay cut in the region of 40 percent means that talks continued, and the press reported that he will sign a new two-year contract until June 2024.
Dembele’s appearance at training is a surprise, but it was revealed in a photo posted by Barca striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang of the dressing room following Tuesday’s session.
