Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele has issued a statement about his future after damning comments from others inside the club.
Sporting director Mateu Alemany had revealed during the week that the Frenchman is no longer part of the club's plans, after failing to make progress on a contract renewal.
"We understand Dembele's decision is to not stay at the club and we have communicated our decision (to leave him out of the trip to Bilbao)," Alemany said, ahead of Barca's elimination from the Copa del Rey.
