Dembele's value halves in Barca negotiations

Ousmane Dembele is under contract with Barcelona until June 2024. The footballer is one of Xavi's non-negotiables and the club is already in discussion with the player to extend his contract.

The club knows that the winger wants to stay, which is good news, but they also know they can't take their foot off the gas. And, from June 1st, his fee has dropped. As 'Mundo Deportivo' reports, the French international has gone from costing 100 million euros to 50 million, exactly half.

The last time Dembele was negotiating with Barca, he agreed to the drop in the fee between June and July, so that he could be sure of a possible out, if things weren't going as well as he hoped. From those 50 million, 25 would go to the club and the other 25 would be for his agent, Mousa Sissoko.
