Transfer: Barcelona’s manager, Xavi, unsure of Dembele’s future
The future of Barcelona’s Ousmane Dembele is unclear as club’s manager, Xavi Hernandez, said he does not know where hus heart is.
The Frenchman has recently been heavily linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain.
RMC reports that PSG are set to trigger the €50 million release clause in Dembele’s contract.
The Ligue1 giants want to sign the Barcelona forward as a replacement for Kylian Mbappe who they must sell this summer or allow him walk out for free next year.
Dembele’s contract with Barcelona runs out in 2024 and his release clause would rise to €100 million next month.
Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 3-0 in a friendly on Sunday morning.
After the game, Xavi was asked about Dembele’s future and he admitted that he is unsure of what could transpire in the transfer market.
“We do not know what will happen with the [transfer] market.
“I see him happy at Barca, but in the end the decision is the player’s. If there is anything [happening], he will let us know,” he said.
