Ousmane Dembele To Leave Barcelona For Paris St-Germain

Barcelona are set to lose Ousmane Dembele to Paris Saint-Germain and the player is ready to leave to join the Ligue 1 side. 

The Spaniards coach, Xavi confirmed the impending transfer of the winger to PSG in a statement after the Frenchman missed playing in a friendly match against AC Milan. Dembele joined the club in its second most expensive signing worth £135m in 2017. 

Though, Xavi opened up that the decision "hurts" him still, he could not help change the player's mind since he confirmed to have got a "proposal" from their Paris rivals. 

"He has been very direct, that he has a proposal from Paris St-Germain, that they have called him from there and here we cannot do anything," said Xavi. 

Left to the Barca manager, he would not have expected that decision from a player they have "taken great care of". Further more, Dembele yet has a year left in the two-year contract renewal signed with the club last year. 

Brace defeated Milan 1-0 in their pre-season friendly match played in Las Vegas on Wednesday and the Frenchman spent the whole time sitting on the bench.
