Ousmane Dembele’s future will bring trouble. The French footballer signed his contract renewal last July until 2024. The surprise was that the extension of his contract was for only two seasons because when a 25-year-old footballer renews, the period is usually four or five years. And more after all that happened in the previous winter market as he was about to leave Barcelona. However, with the French, a short-term renewal was chosen
With such a short commitment, its continuity will obviously lead to a lot of trouble. Primarily because of the specificity of the termination clause. Although many things have been said about it, the truth of this paragraph is as follows. Dembele has set €100m to leave Barcelona without the club being able to do anything at all. If someone wanted that day or during the coming winter market, they had to pay that money
However, this amount varies in summer. The Othman clause was reduced to 50 million only in June and July 2023. The reduction only lasts these two months June-July because as of August 1 it is 100 million again. The reason for the rise at that time and not when the market ends at the end of August is that the club cannot reach in those last days of the market and take the footballer without FC Barcelona having the ability to react. The Culé Sports Directorate wants you to have a reasonable time to search for a replacement in relative calmness and not in a hurry
Below its market value
Today, paying $50 million to buy Dembele is a bargain. You just have to see the millions that are paid to players of this level. Without going any further, just look at Barcelona who paid 55 million plus variants for Vieran Torres last winter and 48, plus bonuses, for Ravenha last summer. And if it is today’s deal, it could be even more if the French striker performs well in the next World Cup in Qatar

There is no doubt that Dembele’s rise in recent months. This is what the facts and figures say. In the first place anyway, his regularity in participation with Xavi, his price in the market increased significantly after these months in Barcelona, where he was playing regularly with Xavi.
According to the transfer market newspaper Transfermarkt, which sets the market price for players, Dembele’s price has doubled in just six months. On January 1, this year, the amount was 30 million euros. Soon, the player stayed in Barcelona because of Xavi’s bet on him. He started playing regularly and his market value rose to 50 million at the end of the previous season. At the moment it is worth, according to Transfermarkt always, 60 kilos, which is ten kilos more than the termination clause for June and July
Although the item is quite affordable, tab should also be taken into consideration and it is no longer so cheap. The player earns about 16 million fixed totals plus four more in variants. This token is higher than what was imposed last season, although lower than Barcelona’s 2021 renewal offer that expired last December
Any team wishing to award him a five-year contract must take into account that the player’s annual book value will be at least 26 million, adding his record plus millions of annual depreciation to move on for a five-year contract
