Barcelona has reportedly told Ousmane Dembele that he would be sold this month after refusing to come to the table over a contract extension.
Barcelona has public financial problems, most recently shown by their inability to register Ferran Torres after moving from Manchester City to the Spanish club. Hence, it seems they want to secure a fee for Dembele before his contract expires in the summer and also get his wages off their books.
As reported by Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona's Director of Football Mateu Alemany, announced: "It's clear that Dembele does not want to continue with Barcelona. He doesn't want to be part of our project. We told Dembele he has to leave immediately. We expect Ousmane to be sold before January 31st."
