Ousmane Dembele’s chances of re-signing with Barcelona are increasing.
“Dembele is getting closer and 메이저사이트 closer to signing a new contract with Barcelona this summer,” Spanish outlet Fichajes reported on Monday (June 29).
Dembele joined Barcelona from Borussia Dortmund in 2017. Barcelona had high hopes for him, spending a whopping €140 million on his signing.
