Barca will try to console Dembele with a renewal

Ousmane Dembele, who did not put in a particularly good performance in the World Cup final, when the French side lost against Argentina, has received a lot of criticism in the French press. 'L'Equipe' said that his 40 minutes on the pitch were "shameful". "A shadow of himself", is what 'RMC Sport' thought of his performance.
According to 'Sport', the Spanish team consider that it is a good time to offer him a contract renewal. In this way, his current situation could improve.
In addition, the same media outlet reports that Xavi Hernandez considers him as a key player in his squad. The board intend to initiate negotiations to renew his contract from February onwards.
Barcelona's idea is to extend his contract until summer, but if no agreement is reached, he will be back on the transfer market.
