Ousmane Dembele: Barcelona tell France forward he must leave club this month



Ousmane Dembele has 31 goals for Barcelona.

Ousmane Dembele has been told to leave by Barcelona because he is not committed to the project.

At the end of the season, Dembele is a free agent and has repeatedly turned down the offer of a new deal.

He joined Barcelona in a deal worth up to £135.5m but will be able to leave for nothing when his contract ends.

The director of football said that the player does not want to stay at the club.

Barcelona manager Xavi has warned Dembele that he needs to sign a new contract or leave the Spanish side.

With lengthy contract talks failing to reach an agreement, the club supports Xavi and agrees it is the correct approach.

It's been six months since we began contract talks with Ousmane and his agent.

We've talked. There are different offers made by Barcelona.

We tried to find a way for the player to continue with us, but his agents have consistently rejected our offers.

We hope that a transfer will take place before January 31 because we want players committed to this project.

At the time, the deal to sign Dembele was the second most expensive transfer in history, but his career has been hampered by injuries.

He has been linked with a number of clubs, including Manchester United.
