  • Dembele was filmed by a fan who had an interesting engagement with the out-of-contract Barcelona winger
  • The 25-year-old’s deal at Barcelona is set to expire in a fortnight, but he strongly hinted at wanting to stay with the Catalans
  • However, Barcelona president Joan Laporta revealed recently that Dembele’s team was yet to respond to contract offers from the club

Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele was recently spotted out and about where he engaged in a brief conversation with a fan about his future.

Dembele has been tipped to leave Barcelona on a free transfer when his contract runs out in June, but his latest engagement with a fan has raised eyebrows.

In a video shared by ESPN, Dembele boldly says he is “staying at Barcelona” when asked about his future.

The 25-year-old then goes on to laugh off suggestions that he had been contacted by Chelsea, saying "I'm fine in Barcelona."

While the conversation should be taken with a pinch of salt, Dembele just might have given a major hint about his future.

Despite openly stating he wants to stay at Barcelona, the club’s president Joan Laporta said in a recent statement that the Frenchman’s camp was yet to respond to the latest contract offer.

With Dembele set to be a free agent in less than a fortnight, Barcelona are running out of time to get him to sign a new deal, with Chelsea seemingly ready to snap up his services on a free transfer.
