Xavi Hernandez, the coach of Barcelona, officially spoke about the mentioned topic for the first time and pointed out that Dembele will soon have to make a decision.
The Spanish expert stated that Dembele emphasizes that he wants to stay, but that he does not sign at the same time.
“The message is clear. He has to sign a new contract or we will find a way to sell it in January. There is no third option. We can’t wait for him, “Xavi said.
The option is not that the Frenchman does not play until the end of the contract.
“I do not plan to send him to the stands. He says he wants to stay, but he doesn’t sign. I can’t understand “, concluded the coach of the Catalan club.
Recall, Dembele’s contract expires next summer when he will be free to choose a new environment.
Barcelona is playing against Athletic Bilbao today in the eighth-finals of the Spanish Cup.
The match is scheduled for 9:30 p.m.
