Barcelona coach Xavi is said to be “very disappointed” with Ousmane Dembele who has not been able to agree a new contract with the Catalan giants.
Dembele had apparently told Xavi that staying at Barca was his “absolute priority” especially after being told by his new boss he would play a key role, according to Diario AS.
Yet the Frenchman now looks destined to leave with the report claiming Barca have withdrawn their contract offer and have summoned Dembele to a meeting to discuss what happens next.
Xavi thinks the best solution would now be to sell Dembele in January and is not thinking about putting him in the stands, despite speculation from some quarters to the contrary.
