“The reality with Ousmane (Dembélé) is that it has been six months since we started negotiations with his representative. During this time we have had ongoing communication with them regarding the club’s desire for it to continue. Different offers have been made to him, we have been very much on top of this issue, it has been more than enough time for the player to have decided his future. We want players committed to the future of Barça and, therefore, he should leave as soon as possible. This is the communication that we have made to him and, from here, the coach’s technical decision is consistent with the club’s decision and with this sequence of events”, was the bomb launched by Mateu Alemany, Barcelona‘s sports director , a week ago.

Although Mauricio Pochettino has several options for the attack, the possible departure of Kylian Mbappé (his contract ends in June and has not yet been renewed) could justify PSG’s move for Dembélé.
