Dembele’s Response to Reporter’s Question on Barca Captaincy Ambitions

During Sergio Busquets’ farewell ceremony, the host took a lighthearted moment to engage Ousmane Dembele. “Ousmane, there are captain spots available…” the host remarked, hinting at the possibility of Dembele assuming a leadership role at Barcelona.

Dembele, with a smile on his face, replied, “No, I don’t want to,” dismissing the idea of becoming a captain while sharing a laugh with those present.

This humorous exchange between Dembele and the host harks back to a previous occasion when the Frenchman playfully expressed his desire to be the captain of Barcelona. It showcases the camaraderie and light-hearted atmosphere surrounding the event.

As the upcoming season approaches, indications suggest that the four designated captains for Barcelona will be Sergi Roberto, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Ronald Araujo, and Robert Lewandowski, unless the prodigal son, Lionel Messi, makes a sensational return to the club. The potential inclusion of Messi, a revered figure in Barcelona’s history, would undoubtedly alter the captaincy lineup.

It is worth noting that both Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, who served as two of the team’s four captains this past season, will be departing the club. Their departure marks a significant shift in the leadership structure at Barcelona, leaving room for new faces to assume the mantle of captaincy and steer the team forward in the upcoming campaign.
