The agent of Ousmane Dembele has made a strong statement over the future of his client by suggesting that ‘pressure’ from Barcelona will not work in contract negotiations.
The Frenchman - who arrived at the Camp Nou for £135m from Borussia Dortmund - is out of contract at the end of the season and would be eligible to leave the club on a free transfer.
It has been reported that Xavi is keen to keep the winger in Catalonia but the chances of that happening look remote considering his precarious contractual position - as well as apparent interest from Premier League duo Arsenal and Chelsea.
