Ousmane Dembele re-signs with Barcelona on two-year contract until 2024

While reports indicated that Chelsea and Manchester United were looking into a move for Ousmane Dembele, Barcelona were also in the running to re-sign their star. The 25-year-old enjoyed a fruitful 2021/22 season where he contributed to 15 goals across all competitions and it had Xavi Hernandez keen on keeping the Frenchman at the club. However, with the forward now a free-agent, reports indicated that the Camp Nou side had managed to come to an agreement with Dembele.

That has now been confirmed as Barcelona announced that the 25-year-old has signed a two-year deal with the club until 2024. That also comes with a salary reduction of 40% although reports have indicated that should Dembele meet certain performance and participation bonuses then he could earn around €10 million a year.

“FC Barcelona and the player Ousmane Dembélé have reached an agreement for a contract until 30 June 2024.  Thursday 14 July sees the following agenda:  1:15pm CEST: Private contract signing at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper. 1:45pm: Public signing at the Tito Vilanova pitch. The event can be followed live on Barça TV+ all around the world and also on FC Barcelona's official digital channels,” reads the statement.
