Expensive and caricatured to satiety, Ousmane Dembélé divides more than a pizza with pineapple. The Frenchman has made his sporting position, winger-winger, his way of life, so the characteristics of his last dribble are consistent with his history: he has feinted against his team when the team of him more had been done for him. Considering the way he is, you cannot be more consistent. If the road designer is a lizard, don’t expect a straight highway.
If Dembélé confirms his transfer to Paris, a maneuver destined to return to his country to earn much more money (the boy is strange but not stupid), he will leave behind a coach who has said so and has given everything for him. Xavi Hernández is about to lose one of his favorite footballers, whom he pampered more than he deserved because he saw a world star in him. Just when he had him where he wanted, after months and months of indoctrination, the guy fakes as if he’s going to outwit his marker and shits on position play. Au revoire. There you stay.
The operation, if confirmed, leaves the coach touched, but the Barça board, if they know how to see it, before an idyllic scenario. I explain. In a negotiation there is always a weak party and in this case the Catalan club has the chance to win. As the operation was not closed yesterday, the striker’s clause is again 100 million euros, so if PSG wants Dembélé, let him pay. If it cannot be the entire 100 million because the footballer is free in a year, at least much more than those 50 whose half the player took, an overly generous Gaspartian agreement with an unscrupulous representative.
It’s time to give back to PSG, a hateful club blessed by FIFA whatever they do, part of their financial bullying. The club that symbolizes like no other the change in the world football hierarchical map needs Dembélé to counteract the constant humiliation of Mbappé. We repeat: let them pay. Barça, in full recovery of self-esteem, runs the risk of experiencing a Neymar 2.0. that damages your reputation. The ball comes bouncing to him. Don’t do a Dembélé. That the goal inside.
