Barcelona rumors: Dembele’s future gets complicated, Zenit want Umtiti

Ousmane Dembele’s future at Barcelona continues to make headlines with the latest update suggesting negotiations over a new deal “are not progressing” and his future at the club is “increasingly complicated.”

The Frenchman’s contract expires in 2022 and it’s believed Barca want to renew at the end of the season or sell to avoid losing the 23-year-old on a free next summer.

Diario Sport report that Barca have made “several calls” to Dembele’s camp to try and talk about a new deal but aren’t really getting anywhere.

The club feel Dembele’s representatives would rather wait to begin talks which is not a situation that would suit the Catalan giants.
