Ousmane Dembele 'to hold Barcelona contract talks this month'

Barcelona have stated their intention to offer Ousmane Dembele a new contract, according to a report.

The forward's current deal at the Camp Nou expires next summer, but Barca are keen for him to stay at the club following the departures of Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann.

Dembele is yet to feature so far this season as he continues to be sidelined by a hamstring injury sustained playing for France at Euro 2020.

According to RAC, Barcelona will meet with the 24-year-old's representatives this month to discuss the terms of a new deal.

Dembele signed for Barcelona from Borussia Dortmund in 2017, and has since made 118 appearances and scored 30 goals for the club.
