Ousmane Dembélé is committed to FC Barecelona. To say this wasn’t always the case would be putting it mildly. In the winter transfer window he refused to renew his deal, apparently opting to leave for free this summer. Barcelona threatened to put him in the stands as punishment, and it took Xavi’s pleading to reverse course and allow him to play.
The winger let his contract expire, still refusing to renew his deal this summer. And then, eventually, after flirting with so many clubs, he signed a new contract.
Afterwards, he was asked to speak to teammates in the dressing room, as is tradition with new signings.
