Barcelona thinks Dembele will refuse contract extension and might leave for free

Dembele's contract expires in 2022.

Barcelona sense that Ousmane Dembele doesn't want to extend his contract with the club after some informal contacts with his entourage, Diario Sport claim.

The Catalans fear that the 23-year-old will look to leave for free when his contract at the club expires in 2022.

If this is true, next summer will be Barca's last chance to sell the player for actual money.

Meanwhile, Mundo Deportivo have reported that extending Dembele's contract is going to be one of the club's priorities after the elections.

Ousmane has registered three goals and one assist in 8 matches this term.
