Barcelona director Mateu Alemani has suggested that Ousmane Dembele could sign a new contract later this year.

The Wings of the Perfumed Blood still has a contract with “Aliens” for only 6 more months. And he can negotiate with foreign teams to reach an agreement in advance from January.

That makes the 24-year-old a target for many teams. Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Newcastle United are reportedly all interested in a deal,

but Barca are yet to lose hope of keeping Dembele at home. Camp Nou continues to try to negotiate for the player to sign a new contract.

Barcelona hope to have clarity on the future of Ousmane Dembele by the end of this year, sporting director Mateu Alemany said on Saturday.

The winger’s contract expires at the end of the season and, while head coach Xavi has insisted the player wants to stay, there has been no sign of an imminent new deal.

Recently, Alemani revealed that Dembele confirmed he wanted to stay. And hopefully an agreement can be reached this year.

“Ousmane Dembele has always told us he wants to stay here,” he told Movistar.
