Barcelona are reportedly set to open talks with Ousmane Dembele over extending his contract with the club beyond the end of the season. As it stands, the France international will become a free agent in the summer, with Chelsea one of the clubs keeping an eye on the situation.
According to the Daily Mail, Barcelona have contacted Dembele's agent in recent days over extending his stay at the Nou Camp following his recent performances. The former Borussia Dortmund winger has rediscovered his form over recent games after being strongly linked with an exit from the club over the January transfer window.
Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea have 'maintained contact' over a move for Dembele, the report adds, but it now looks as if Barca want to offer the Frenchman fresh terms on a new deal. Barca president Joan Laporta, when speaking on Tuesday, offered an update on Dembele and his situation with the La Liga club.
