Ousmane Dembele's contract standoff with Barcelona has been one of the most high-profile transfer stories of the season. The Frenchman has been in sensational form in recent months and it has prompted Barcelona to make extending his deal a priority.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona representatives Mateu Alemany and Jordi Cruyff met with Dembele's agent Moussa Sissoko earlier this month. The meeting was mostly about burying the hatchet and starting negotiations afresh.
As per the report, Dembele's camp have asked for a huge sum as a signing-on bonus. But they are willing to make some concessions and are ready to accept a lower salary. Nothing has been agreed between the two parties but they will meet again for an elaborate discussion over the terms of the new contract.
