Despite PSG's advances, Barcelona are still trying to pin the French forward down to a new contract.
However, Barca vice-president Rafa Yusta has admitted his frustration with how things have gone with regards to the contract renewal.
"It seems like a never ending story. The same thing has happened to us every year," Barca vice-president Rafa Yusta said, as per Sport.
"Xavi likes Dembélé very much and it is a process that is slower than others. I hope we end up in a good understanding on both sides."
