Mercato Barça – Ousmane Dembélé dismissed by Barça: “He must leave the club immediately”

FC Barcelona cannot find the key to extending Ousmane Dembélé’s contract and is losing patience. As revealed Sport3 and The sports world several hours ago, Xavi dismissed the French international winger, linked to the Blaugrana until June 2022 and who asks for astronomical sums to continue the adventure with the Catalan club, during Thursday evening’s trip to the lawn of Athletic Bilbao for the account of the knockout stages of the King’s Cup.

The other important news with the Dembélé case is the official posture taken by FC Barcelona. In an interview given to the club’s media, Mateu Alemany, the sporting director in charge of the first team, announced that Barça had asked Dembélé’s agents to find him a starting solution before the end of the transfer window.

“With Ousmane and his agents we started conversations since July. Since all this time, so regarding six months. We dialogued, we talked, we made several offers, we tried to find a solution for the player to continue with us. All the offers were systematically refused by his agents. On January 20, eleven days from starting the last part of his contract, it seems obvious to us that the player does not want to continue with FC Barcelona and that he is not 100% with the project of the future of Barça. . We therefore communicated to him, as well as to his agents, that he had to leave the club immediately because we want to have players involved with the Barça project. We hope to be able to transfer it before the end of January“, specified the Mallorcan leader.

He added that Xavi had made the decision not to count on Dembélé from now on. “The sporting consequence has been validated by the technical staff and our coach. We do not want to have players who are not fully in our project and who do not want to be at Barça. Another consequence, he will no longer be summoned. It is not up to the club to make such a decision, it is the coach who has chosen and he has all our support and backing. This seems to us to be an absolutely coherent decision.”

The Dembélé clan had put pressure on Barça

At a press conference on Wednesday, the Barcelona coach, who had also tried to tip the balance on the Catalan side by saying all the good things he thought of Ousmane Dembélé in November, said increased the pressure on the world champion. “We are in a complicated and difficult situation. The club has decided that if he does not extend, a decision will have to be made with him“, said Ronald Koeman’s successor first.

“It’s an incomprehensible situation: he wants to stay, he wants to extend, but they don’t make the decision. We, as a club, we have to take one, and it’s this one: either he extends or he leaves the club“, he added. For his part, Moussa Sissoko, the French player’s agent, let go on RMC Sport this Tuesday. “It’s a push that doesn’t work with people like us, he noted. Maybe it can work with agents who have cronyism with FC Barcelona. It’s not my case, I’m here to defend the interests of my player.” A player who will miss the trip to Bilbao. And therefore surely the end of the season if he does not leave Barça by January 31.

He claims 40 million euros in salary: “In what world does Dembélé live?”
