OUSMANE DEMBELE HAS TO LEAVE FOR BARCA TO SIGN RAPHINHA

Xavi Hernández has stressed the need to play with open wingers who are explosive and go one-on-one. Barça have a differential player lines up for next season.

As per Sport, the Blaugrana club is going to launch a bid for Leeds United winger, Raphinha , although the final offensive to bring him to the Camp Nou will not begin until Dembélé does not officially communicate that he is leaving Barça.

The Catalans have totally give up on the French attacker, but the reality is that he has indicated that he hasn't signed for any other club yet and the doors will open for him if he wants to renew for Barça till June 30. After that date, Barcelona will activate the signing of Raphinha, with whom they already reached an agreement for the next five seasons.

The Dembélé case has been a long drawn out exercise, which is typical of players in their last year of contract. Barcelona has made the decision to wait since his renewal could be a good economic operation. The club maintains the offer made weeks ago. It hasn’t been accepted by Dembele yet.

Barca are certain that Dembélé is negotiating with several clubs in the Premier League as well as Bundesliga champions, Bayern Munich, but without reaching any agreement. Nobody is paying what he's asking for. In the event the footballer knocks on Barça's door again, the club will maintain the latest offer and will renew him, ruling out the signing of another winger and thus saving a significant chunk of cash. Approximately 60-70 million euros in the case of Raphinha.
