The case for keeping Ousmane Dembele at Barcelona

It’s been a quiet month in Barcelona with lots of speculation but little action.

Joan Laporta is dreaming big with the hope of landing a superstar like Robert Lewandowski, or potentially a star in the making like Raphinha.

With clubs playing hardball, however, and optimism waning due to fiscal constraints, it’s a good time to step back and reconsider all the options.

Enter Ousmane Dembele.

Proceed with caution. This is your trigger warning.

My opinion is that it’s in Barcelona’s best interest to bring the Frenchman to the negotiating table, to see if a middle ground can be reached in renewing his contract.
