Barcelona have issued a one-word Ousmane Dembele message that will hurt Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel as the sanctions imposed on owner Roman Abramovich prevent any transfer dealings taking place currently in west London.
Dembele, 24, was heavily linked with a switch to England in the January transfer window but he decided to stay put due to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's advice amid contractual concerns, despite club president Juan Laporta and head coach Xavi suggesting he would leave the Camp Nou.
However, it seems the new arrivals in the Spanish city have somewhat rejuvenated a player that Tuchel said he and the club had not contacted on deadline day despite constant rumours.
