“Messi and many other players are non-transferable. It would be a cliché to just say Leo. He is the best player in history, but there are other non-transferable players. There are many young players. Ter Stegen, Lenglet, De Jong, Semedo, Dembélé, Griezmann. They are players who count on them a lot and who have come to spend many years at Barça “. In this curious way Josep Maria Bartomeu confirmed a few days ago which current Barça players are not for sale.
It was surprising that the president mentioned Nélson Semedo, who has been in the pools to enter into various operations, or Antoine Griezmann, that this course has not worked and it has also been rumored that it could enter into some barter. However, the footballer who was most shocked to see on a non-transferable list went to Ousmane Dembele, who has hardly played this season due to physical problems, and who has been at FC Barcelona for three years jumping from injury to injury.
The Frenchman was transfer meat this summer to make money, but in the end the club will give him another opportunity, the umpteenth since he landed in Barcelona in 2017. The newspaper ‘Sport’ provides the reasons that Barça gives to continue betting on the speed, the overflow and the youth of the French. It seems that on the Board of Directors they did not want to lose money with their operation and that is why they preferred to keep it one more campaign.
In a context of economic crisis like the one we are experiencing, Barcelona knew that he was not going to be able to transfer the Frenchman for more than 50 or 60 million euros, pulling high. Taking into account that the former Borussia Dortmund player cost 105 ‘kilos’ plus another 40 in variables, the losses would have been enormous. The decision has been simple for this reason and the winger will have another campaign to show that he can succeed at the Camp Nou.
The club still trusts that Dembélé explodes to star
In addition, at the sporting level at Barça they still believe in the possibilities that Dembélé offers. The international for France has always had the qualities necessary to make a career in the Barcelona team, but physical problems and his immaturity have prevented who can do it. However, confidence in these virtues remains intact and the technical secretariat and the board think that it may still be important for the club.
Ousmane He is still 23 years old and has enough qualities to explode into a superstar at any moment. He is completely ambidextrous, he is imaginative, there are not many players faster than him and he has dribbling for either of the two profiles. All this invites us to think that sooner or later he will be able to focus, leave injuries behind and become the footballer he is called to be. At Barça he will have one more opportunity to do so and it is expected that Ronald Koeman will know how to get the best of him so that within a year he will be non-transferable solely for a sporting issue.
