The news comes after a meeting between the player’s representative, Moussa Sissoko, and Barca sports leadership, Mateu Alemany and Jordi Cruyff. The meeting served as a first contact to express both parties’ intentions, without discussing figures.
Barca executives conveyed their desire to renew the Frenchman’s contract, expressing their satisfaction with his performance throughout the season and his involvement with the club. Dembele, on the other hand, expressed his eagerness to continue with the Catalan club, feeling comfortable in the team and enjoying the confidence of Xavi.
