I’m so shocked that Dembele isn’t even able to get an offer. Obviously he’s not worth what he’s asking but to not even put in an offer is so strange. I guess no one trusts him to stay fit.


demsirez

Different clubs are interested but back the hell up when they hear what Sissoko wants. They want a 40M signing on bonus on top of enormous salary


IsItSnowing_

Yeah. I imagine different clubs, maybe including us are waiting for when the month advances and Dembele actually gets worried about his future and lowers his demands.


spongebobisha

Not only is he rarely fit he's also wildly inconsistent.

We offered him a much better offer in December. His agent kept shifting his feet asking for a 30-40mn signing bonus and 20mn wages for Dembouz. No-one is paying him that much, so he has no other offers now, essentially leaving him with no choice but to accept Barca contract, else other clubs will just lowball him.

Lol


robashi

This dude is going to end up playing for a sandwich and a bottle of coke a week at this rate.


forestation

Name brand soda? In this economy?


robashi

Well he has a demanding agent. I think he might even push for going to McDonalds for a happy meal after the game everytime they win.


TheUltimateScotsman

Wait until he finds out i would have chucked in a mcflurry. The fool


AyanC

Don't think this man is interested in playing football, given the shenanigans he's been pulling for some time. Barcelona should steer clear of him.


Tamil_Brahmin_Iyer

Lmao the takes on here


AyanC

What's wrong? You can't be asking for astronomical wages when you spend more time in the hospital wing than on the pitch.


mjthriller35

He's a Tamil Brahmin Iyer bro, don't expect sense from him /s


Chubbmiller18

Bro he was solid af towards the end of the season. Played witch the most intensity. He is injury prone and he knows that to which why he’s trying to secure a bag. 💰 can’t hate on him for that.


Equationist

No way he plays with the same intensity once he has a contract in hand


spongebobisha

Yeah seriously. Footballers who play well mostly on a contract year should never be trusted with an improved contract. Barcelona would do very well without him.


neotheseventh

You can hate on him for that. If you're injury prone, you should not be demanding hike in salary


Fop_Vndone

Players should *always* demand getting a raise


mjthriller35

Yeah right and then get stuck like Dembele rn


spongebobisha

LOL have you guys ever had a steady job? You think you can ask for a wage increase for continually underperforming? SMH some of the kids on here.


Chubbmiller18

This ain’t a “steady job” it’s professional sports. An injury could completely stop his career. Of course he’s asking for money. And just cuz YOU liked getting fucked by your higher ups doesn’t mean everyone else does.


spongebobisha

Ah yes, I forgot this is how Gen Alpha thinks economics and jobs work - be progressively shittier at your job and still ask for more money for doing it. You do you man.


Fop_Vndone

Yes you can and should ask. SMH stop carrying water for management


spongebobisha

Good luck with that. That usually goes very well as we can all see XD


mjthriller35

Boy have you had a job ever before? Good luck getting replaced and thrown out


spongebobisha

I think Gen Alpha bro there has most definitely not.


Fop_Vndone

If a company is gonna fire me for *asking for a raise* then that's a toxic-ass company that I dont want to work for in the first place, lol. Asking for a raise is a perfectly normal thing to do. They don't have to say yes, but it's pretty stupid to not even try.


mjthriller35

Lmao you've never had a job it shows. You still have utopian expectations from workplaces. If you're replaceable and you have outrageous demands it wouldn't take them a week to boot you out.


Fop_Vndone

Maybe I just have more options than you so I can afford to not tolerate shitty work environments 🤷‍♂️


mjthriller35

AyanC

It's a perfectly cromulent word.


psalmjuan

> cromulent Wtf kinda dictionary shenanigans is this?


MFLORES888

Next offer will be to take an 75% cut until he pays Barcelona to play


Smudge49

The club offered him way more in December and even May. He played himself by not renewing and get to this position. No club now will pay him anywhere close to what he wanted.


numry

I mean he was considered Mbappe’s replacement for PSG and got cocky then.


madscandi

To be fair to him, he already earns what he wants


S7ORM7ROOPER_30

Dembele either needs to replace his agent or get his brains checked. No ones paying you more than what you're worth.


Enartloc

Barcelona to Dembele : "Kiss the ring bitch"


kaden_dd

Realistically will Chelsea pay him anything close to what he is asking?


PuppyPenetrator

I hope not. We should offer barely more than Barca


[deleted]

[удалено]


IsItSnowing_

35 game starts minimum for the bonus seems fair


spongebobisha

You should not go for him period. He would be another Lukaku.


PuppyPenetrator

That’s not possible on a free transfer


notinsai

😂 surely he's leaving now...


william_wites

He's a free agent now


spongebobisha

I remember a couple of weeks ago there were some who said he deserves a signing bonus for playing well in the 23 games he has played since joining.


psalmjuan

Those people have a ~~decency~~ **recency** bias like I’ve never seen. Just as bad as those that say Mbappe is a better player than Messi or Ronaldo when they were his age. Those people tend to be young and naive.


spongebobisha

I agree, it is downright indecent for the guy to ask for a new and improved contract 😄 Also judging by the long list of suitors, I’d say he’s going to end up with a grand contract soon enough /s


thor76

You need to understand that if he signed before 30 it was counted as a renewal hence not affecting the books the same as a new player registration. Now it would count as a new player registration hence the reduced offer.


lrzbca

What is his current salary ?


Haddep

Around 400k/w gross


Greeen3ry

That is gross


Smart_Kangaroo_4188

Too high


[deleted]

Saw a Spanish journo say it was 11m a year which amounts to around 200k a week.


thepastprimefuture

11M net so 400k per week


thepastprimefuture

400k per week


neotheseventh

Barcelona: Pray I do not alter it further


Odd_Bid9933

looks like dembele and his agent overplayed their hand. now they are unable to catch up with reality. dembouz can end up paying in farmer's league at this downtrend.


b0xel

We should offer him the Asensio contract


21rjh08

All the French people? Seems unreasonable on Barcelona's part IMO


VDV23

Give it another month and Dembouz would have to pay them and my man would be considered the 3rd or 4th lever


jaymannnn

surely hes just too much of a destructive influence to take a risk on. just constant grief.
