The Spanish trainer is slowly rebuilding FC Barcelona, towards the top club of yesteryear, after years of mismanagement. The club signed Ferran Torres from Manchester City last week for 55 million euros and that fact triggered Dembele to make new demands for a contract extension.
According to the German version of Sky Sports he asks 43 million euros per year. The French winger is on a free transfer in the summer. When Xavi heard this amount, he would have been ‘without words’.

Dembele was briefly linked to Bayern Munich, but top scorer and star Robert Lewandowski earns less than half of what Dembele would like. In addition, the attacker of the Catalans has a sad ‘track record’ regarding injuries in recent years.
In five years, he has only played 86 games for the Blaugrana. He also barely started this season.
