Barcelona president Joan Laporta has doubled down on his outlandish claim that Ousmane Dembele is better than Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe, despite wanting to get rid of him.
Laporta has previously gone on the record to say he rates Dembele more highly than Mbappe, who is tipped to be a future Ballon d'Or winner and has already been the hero of a World Cup -winning team.
Yet the Barca chief and his fellow board members spent the last 10 days of the January transfer window trying to ship the 24-year-old out of the Camp Nou after Dembele rejected a new contract.
