In yet another staggering turn of events in the Ousmane Dembele departure saga,Barcelonaseemingly have not lost hope in trying to earn a higher fee for the player.
Just in from journalistSanti Aouna, the Catalans are supposedly trying to bide their time in sєɴԀing Dembele to Paris Saint-Germain, where his move seems imminent.
However, even though it seemed like the transfer would be announced this week, proceedings have oddly stalled due to certain discrepancies in agreements between the parties.
Al Hilal’s bumper offer
Aouna suggests thatBarcelonaare aiming to take full advantage of these delays, and try and help the Frenchman’s transfer to Saudi Arabia materialise.
The Ԁєɑł Al Hilal have offered is ɾєρօɾτedly an offer of 100 million euros, which would be a monumental boost for Barcelona’s finances, and the Saudi Arabians would more than comfortably take on his wages – or even offer more.
They are also ɾєρօɾτedly offering 50 million euros in commissions, which makes the Ԁєɑł very lucrative for all parties.
Roadblocks to the Ԁєɑł
The finances, attractive as they may be, currently don’t seem to have swayed Dembele from his decision to move to PSG.
He has ɾєρօɾτedly refused the current proposition and wants to move to the French capital as things stand.
However, if the move does not materialise soon,Barcelonacould get more time to push for the Saudi Ԁєɑł to take shape.
The Catalans have been contemplatingrecalling Dembele to Barcelonafor the time being, and there is also a possibility that he may be available with the squad for the Joan Gamper trophy game.
It was ɾєρօɾτed earlier that due to certain discrepancies with the documents, PSG have not been able to advance the transfer at the speed they would have liked to.
Barcelona will be hoping that they manage to ship the player to the Middle East and gain a cash injection that could be huge in the remainder of the summer window.
