Barcelona confident they can drop Dembele in January for big money price-tag

Barcelona reckon they still recoup £100million for Ousmane Dembele either in January or next summer.

Both Liverpool and Arsenal have been linked with moves for the Frenchman who is finding it hard to recreate the spectacular form he showed for Borussia Dortmund.

It is claimed they have issued the 21-year-old an ultimatum to either grow up or leave after he phoned in sick for training earlier this month.

Club doctors reportedly went to check on him and found there to be nothing wrong.

It has since been claimed he stayed up all night playing video games and simply overslept.

And The Mirror now say the Spanish giants have already made up their mind and want to sell Dembele as soon as the January transfer window.

Arsenal are without Danny Welbeck for the foreseeable future, which has added extra encouragement for Unai Emery to bring in an out-and-out winger.

However, the north Londoners will have to beat Liverpool to the ace.

Incidentally, Jurgen Klopp has been told there is no rush to sign the Barca winger.
