Ousmane Dembele is being caught up in a power struggle at Barcelona.
Dembele, 25, a summer target for Chelsea, was on the brink of signing a new deal at the Nou Camp this week after his representatives held fresh talks with Barcelona this week. Barcelona coach Xavi is desperate to keep Dembele who is now a free agent after his previous contract at the club expired at the end of June.
But sporting director Mateu Alemany is championing Leeds winger Raphinha and has different views to Xavi and their differing views have effectively put BOTH deals on hold. Alemany wants to make his own mark with a big deal for Raphinha despite a potential £60m deal being involved - and the coach wanting them to keep Dembele.
