Xavi makes statement on superstar Chelsea ready to give £300,000-a-week too
Barcelona coach Xavi has opened up on the future of Ousmane Dembele ahead of reports that Chelsea will make him a contract offer during the summer transfer window
The France forward, 24, has failed to agree a new contract at the Nou Camp, with his current deal set to expire this summer, and that has led to alot of speculation that he could come to the Premier League
Chelsea were very much interested in getting some kind of transfer deal done, especially after the Spanish club told him he could leave in the January transfer window after failing to agree that new contract.
The Blues may be in the midst of a takeover bid from numerous outfits – but it is still expected that players will be signed during the summer transfer window and a contract will be handed to Dembele
And amid all the speculation about his future – It appears that the ball is in the French winger’s court regarding a renewal and Xavi has addressed the current situation of the midfielder heading into the summer window.
He said: “I see him very happy and very involved,” the boss asserted. “I have no complaints about him. It depends on him, that’s clear. He plays at a high level and if he works hard he can be the best in the world in his position.
“In addition, he is making a difference. For the way I want to play, he’s very good.”

It would be an interesting signing for Chelsea, as we would all be interested to see just how he would manage to play in the Premier League when he has been unable to succeed in La Liga
He could be a world class player, but we firmly believe that he would not be able to make an impact for Chelsea, he is not the same player.
Xavi may want him to stay at the club – but that is because the Barca boss will not have the funds to sign an immediate replacement
But as we said – this will be an interesting one to keep an eye on
