Ousmane Dembélé
- Thread starter Devils
- Start date
play him till he injures again, then he'll be begging to renew for less

To me it looks like the club is prioritising the contract renewals of Pedri, Ansu, Gavi and Araujo atm. Rightfully so.
I'm not really worried about rumours about Dembele leaving. Hard to take media serious as a big chunk of them seems to fudge a story just to get clicks. He's not even fit yet and we'll see sooner than later how it pans out with him.
Imo, if he leaves the club for bigger money and goes to a club like Newcastle, he is just an ungrateful idiot as chances of him having a fixed spot on RW at Barcelona longterm are higher than ever. If he goes to a club like Liverpool or Chelsea with coaches like Klopp or Tuchel, I can't blame him. I think Dembele and Barca did better to keep him fit since Koeman took over. Can hardly blame the club for him getting injured at the EUROs, but could be that Dembele didn't do his homework when he was with his country as he surely had no kindergartner taking care of him like he does at Barca.

Is never 15 mil. He will probably demand a 4 or 5 year contract with bonuses. The sum can easily reach 100 mil during that time.

True, 15m might be starting bid, they'll probably settle for something in between.
This is a good point. If Dembele is not renewing then there is no point in us playing him either.
He in all likelihood would be prioritising a summer move and staying injury free. Thus not training or playing at his hardest.
Better to invest that time in Dest for example, who for all his limitations is guaranteed to give the best level he can.

It is twice the salary he is worth, with signing bonus that is worth his market value.
He will be 25 at the end of the season (when he can sign as free agents) with 7 years at top level and nothing to show for but flashes of talent during his teen years, on top of that one of the most injury prone players who has discipline issues.
It isn't like he has the talent to be worth the hustle

This. We seem to still see him as a prospect, but that's the problem. He is already 25.

He is world class in some but so many big flaws destroy him
Traore is world class dribbler yet everything else is frustrating
Disagree, he won't win any Ballon d'Ors in the future, but he's the next best thing to a worldclass winger. Pino and the likes for sure ain't (yet). Catch as always are his injuries, but last season was a big improvement already.

He can't do basic things well. He is far from the top.
That gets overblown a bit. He's erratic, but no Traore. He barely played his position (RW) either. Koeman used him as a CF (give or take) and the other seasons were plagued by injuries.
It's not overblown at all. He literally can't pass and keep the ball in tight spaces like every other normal player in the world can. That has nothing to do with his position, it's a fault of his technique, composure and spatial awareness.
