Ousmane Dembele who is a well known Barcelona star, has informed the club’s coaches, including Xavi, that he will not be continuing at the Catalan club as the terms of the renewal do not suit him at all.
Dembele had reportedly explained to the technicians that he had not accepted Barcelona’s final proposal and that he planned to put an end to his time at Camp Nou on June 30.
The report added that the 25-year-old’s new destination would be French Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain.

Barcelona had recently assured that there was “a 95% chance” that Dembele would not renew his contract. Dembele had an offer from Barcelona on the table to renew, but which his agent considered entirely insufficient.
And recent events have made it clear that the French winger will not continue at Barcelona.
Dembele’s France teammate, Kylian Mbappe, who recently signed a new three-year contract with PSG, had reportedly told the Parisians hierarchy to sign the former Dortmund star.
As uncertainty continues to loom over the future of Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong, Mundo Deportivo has come up with a fresh report which provides a clear picture of the club’s stance on the Dutchman’s situation.
De Jong has been a mainstay in the centre of the park for Barça ever since his arrival in 2019 and has no desire of leaving the club anytime soon. Manager Xavi Hernandez also rates the 25-year-old highly and wants to keep him at the club.
At the same time, however, the 42-year-old is aware that the club are not in the pinkest of health financially and selling a player of de Jong’s quality would help generate some valuable funds that can be reinvested into the roster in the summer window.
There is no shortage of interest in de Jong either. Manchester United have been hot on his trail for months now, while Paris Saint-Germain are also being mentioned as an interested party. At the same time, Manchester City and Bayern Munich are also admirers of the midfielder.
And the report states that Barcelona have two targets in mind for whom they would be willing to sacrifice Frenkie de Jong in the summer.
