The situation
New script twist in the Dembele case. If a few days ago it seemed that the French winger was very close to saying yes to the FC Barcelona fofer that he had on the table, now it seems that doubts have appeared on the horizon again. And the most surprising thing is that now the doubts do not come from the player or his agent, the most reluctant of all to accept this proposal, but from the sports area, which is aware that it has to start prioritizing in order to be able to have a ‘fair play’ in accordance with the circumstances. And, in this sense, the sports area has decided to prioritize the signing of Raphinha to the continuity of Dembele. The club considers the Brazilian winger from Leeds as a strategic signing, almost at the level of Robert Lewandwski and Jules Kounde, so the commitment to the striker is resounding and non-negotiable. So much so that he is willing to close the operation before activating the second lever, aware that the Brazilian has many ‘girlfriends’ and that he cannot wait much longer. The goal that Barcelona have set for themselves is to be able to close the transfer next week and for the player to join the American tour as one of the team’s great stars. At Barcelona, the idea that Dembele and Raphinha cannot be together is gaining ground and that the best option is to end up giving up the Frenchman.
The details
The antipathy that Ousmane generates in part of the fans is also valued , as well as his erratic behavior, both on the field and outside, to propose a possible reversal of the offer. Xavi was the first to understand this position, prioritizing in any case the arrival of Raphinha, who would come from the hand of Deco , his agent and supporter. Also in the club they consider that when the signing of the Leeds winger becomes official, it will be Ousmane himself who pulls back, aware that he could have very few minutes this season. Be that as it may, the club hopes to put the epitaph to the soap opera Dembele in the coming days .
