Ousmane Dembele has been given by a contract renewal ultimatum by Barcelona amid anger from the club’s boss Xavi Hernandez.
The Barca supremo feels cheated by the Frenchman as contract renewal talks between the two parties have stalled with a player exit this year increasingly likely.
The club have already acted pre-emptively to Dembele’s likely exit with the signing of Ferran Torres from Manchester City this month for an initial fee of £46million, with potential add-ons meaning the deal could rise to £54million.
