Rafa Yuste opens door for Dembele to stay at Barcelona

Barcelona vice-president Rafa Yuste has been talking about Ousmane Dembele and has not ruled out the possibility of the Frenchman staying on at the Camp Nou.

Dembele is out of contract in the summer and it had been widely expected he would leave on a free transfer.

However, Yuste is not ruling out a fresh round of contract extension talks between now and the end of the current season.

“Xavi tells us that he is an exceptional player, and he is, and he brings a lot to the team. I think Xavi is also doing a phenomenal job on a psychological level because he helps Dembélé understand the system better,” he said.
