Ousmane Dembele no longer included in Barcelona transfer list (reliability: 4 stars)

Barcelona no longer intends to sell Ousmane Dembele this summer. Instead, the Blaugrana will offer the Frenchman a new contract, according to Sport.

Barcelona initially placed Dembele on their transfer list before he travelled for the Euros. However, the injury he suffered against Hungary has put a spanner in Barca's plans to sell him.

Barca know they will not find buyers for the player this summer and have opted to offer him a new deal, at lower wages, to avoid losing him for free next summer.

The 2020/21 campaign was Dembele's second-best in Barca colours. The 24-year-old played as many as 44 games. He contributed 16 goals for the club (11 goals, 5 assists).
