The Spanish League table-toppers signed the attacker on a short-term loan deal earlier this year with an option to make it permanent depending on his performances.
He was handed jersey No 19 previously worn by Spanish striker Diego Costa. The player has however failed to break into Diego Simeone's starting XI.
Dembele, who has been linked with a move to Barcelona has made just two La Liga appearances so far, but Simeone is willing to give the striker more opportunities to prove himself, according to Daily Mail quoting Marca.
