The Catalan giants are reportedly set to offer Ousmane Dembele a new contract renewal.
Barcelona want to tie Ousmane Dembele up to a long-term contract, and they have reportedly made initial contacts with his agent, Moussa Sissoko, to facilitate the process.
The 25-year-old has the trust of Xavi Hernandez, and despite only signing a renewal in the summer of 2022, the club want to further align his journey with theirs, and they are said to be offering a five-year contract extension.
Dembele's resurgence
Barcelona signed Dembele from Dortmund in the summer of 2017, but injuries and inconsistency have hampered his Barcelona career, and he was on his way out of the club with his contract set to expire and the Blaugrana unwilling to match his salary demands.
However, following the employment of Xavi, the trust the Spanish manager showed the France international seemed to bring the best out of him, and it coincided with improved health for the former Rennes winger.
On the Spanish manager's request, the club signed Dembele to a two-year deal to stave off his exit as a free agent and are now said to have returned to the negotiating table for a long-term deal.
