“Barcelona” team is happy that this season coach Xavi can more often use the services of forward Ousmane Dembele.

The 25-year-old Frenchman, known for his "glass" body and frequent injuries, has already played 20 matches in the "La Liga" championship, scoring 5 goals and providing 5 assists.

As journalist Fabrizio Romano reports, “Barcelona” offers the athlete to extend his contract, as the current agreement is valid until the summer of next year.

The Catalans fear that other teams may take advantage of the €50 million buyout clause provided in the contract, which will come into effect this offseason.

However, the chances of the “Barcelona” team are also improved by the player's attitude - O. Dembele is satisfied with the current situation at the club and would like to continue his career here.
