Joan Laporta offers update on Ousmane Dembele’s Barcelona future

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has offered an update on Ousmane Dembele who is out of contract at the end of the season.

The 58-year-old says a meeting has been scheduled with Dembele’s agent to discuss an extension and seemed optimistic the Frenchman will sign on.

“Mateu (Alemany) has told me that he’s organising a meeting with his agent. The relationship with Ousmane is very good, he feels loved and we want him to stay.

“He’s told me that he’s really looking forward to playing again and wearing Barcelona’s shirt. With everyone’s work, we’ll get this player, who has a lot of quality, back playing and playing consistently.
