Ousmane Dembele hasn't yet ruled out signing a new contract with Barcelona.

Sport says the negotiations are in their final stages and a decision will come likely at the end of this week or next.

Anything could happen, and Dembele's people are interested in a short-term renewal to keep Dembele at Barcelona and negotiate a little further down the line for a new deal.

The player does like his Xavi has treated him and his life in Barcelona, but knows many other big clubs want him including Juventus, Manchester United and Chelsea, although PSG could also make a move. He can be paid double what he earns at Barcelona elsewhere.

That's the main hurdle. Barcelona want Dembele to lower his salary and be paid more in bonuses. He could be the best paid in the squad if he performs and the team wins titles. Less fixed salary and more in objectives.
