Time must soon be up for Ousmane Dembele

Here we go again seemingly.

After the utterly contemptuous way Ousmane Dembele and his agent treated the club in January, we are on the cusp of the next transfer window and the Frenchman is playing roulette once more.

At present, Dembele looks to be flitting between a reunion with Thomas Tuchel at Chelsea, the chance of playing alongside Kylian Mbappe at PSG or a fall-back option of staying at Barca.

Since when did the greatest club in the world allow themselves to be held to ransom in such a manner?!

I really had hoped that after a solid second half of the 2021/22 season, Dembele would be crystal clear in his mind that he had, belatedly, elevated himself to be one of, if not the most important player in Barca’s ranks.
