Barcelona invites Dembele to leave before the end of this month

Barcelona angered Dembele after refusing to renew his contract.

From the source

Barcelona club director Matteo Alemani has decided the future of French star Osman Dembele in the Catalan team, noting that "Dembele made it clear that he does not want to stay at the Camp Nou, and therefore he should leave before the end of this month."

Dembele's contract, who joined from Borussia Dortmund in 2017 with a deal worth 140 million euros ($158.9 million), expires next summer, and therefore he will be able to leave for free.

Barcelona wanted to avoid this scenario in light of the club's large debts of about one billion euros, and hoped to find, with Dembele's departure, an opportunity to revive its financial fund if it was sold during the winter transfer window.

Alemani said the day before yesterday: “We started talks with Othman and his agent around July, so more than six months have passed.

We've talked over and over again.

Barcelona made different offers.

"We tried to find a way for the player to continue with us, but these offers were systematically rejected by his agents."
