It's the end of a long soap opera.

Thursday July 14, Ousmane Dembélé signed a new lease with Barça.

Arrived in 2017 from Borussia Dortmund, the Frenchman had been expected to leave in recent months, and even more so when his contract ended on June 30.

In January, Xavi, the Blaugrana coach, even dismissed him by imposing an ultimatum: extend or leave.

Finally, after many rumors and twists and turns, the 2018 world champion re-engaged with Barcelona until 2024. “ 

 “said Ousmane Dembélé in training with his club.

Its extension comes after the arrivals of the Dane Andreas Christensen (free, from Chelsea) and the Ivorian Franck Kessié (free, from AC Milan), while an agreement in principle has been reached with Leeds for the Brazilian Raphinha.
