Barcelona are desperate to sell forward Ousmane Dembele this January ahead of his contract expiring this summer.
Barca sporting director Mateu Alemany has confirmed Dembele “must leave the club as soon as possible” which pre-empted the club being hit with a legal warning.
Blaugrana boss Xavi Hernandez has signalled the forward’s career at Camp Nou is over as he feels cheated by the player, who was handed a final warning by the coach in what appeared to be a transfer ultimatum.
