Confirmed: Barcelona struggling problem with Dembele extension

Barcelona are looking to extend the contract of Ousmane Dembele but his situation is 'a bit more complicated than with the rest of the players, the highly-reliable Fabrizio Romano reports.

The parties have been in talks for a long time now but are still unable to reach an agreement.

Last year, Manchester United wanted to sign Dembele on loan but Barca refused because they feared Ousmane would come back and then not sign an extension, looking to leave as a free agent. One year later, the Catalans find themselves in that exact situation, as per the source.

It was reported previously that Dembouz wants to continue at Camp Nou but his agent wants to listen to offers from other clubs.

Barca fail to extend his deal before January, they will reportedly look to sell the 24-year-old in the winter market.
