Barcelona coach Xavi insists new contract talks with Ousmane Dembele are continuing.
The club and player are in continued talks to extend the Frenchman's stay at the Camp Nou, even after he turned down the Catalans' last offer. Xavi, though, remains confident that all is not yet lost and he is hopeful that an agreement will be found in a future meeting.
"We are in negotiations," Xavi said in his pre-Mallorca press conference on Saturday. "I still have hope that he'll stay.
"I've spoken with him and I think it's possible that he'll try to stay. Talks are in process, so for now we have to wait.
"If he renews, we could sign one or two players now.
"The offer is very good. I don't have a say on the economic side, but Barcelona's offer is an excellent one."
