French winger Ousmane Dembélé is set to officially join Paris Saint-Germain. During a press conference, FC Barcelona coach Xavi confirmed the imminent departure of the player.
Xavi is disappointed. The Spanish coach of Barcelona has just confirmed Ousmane Dembélé’s departure from the club. « He told us he wanted to leave, that he had an offer from PSG. It’s a personal decision, » said Xavi.
« I feel bad because we took good care of him, but he has this proposal and that’s why I didn’t play him. It’s the law of the market, we can’t compete with this offer, it’s beyond our reach, and I wish him all the happiness in the world because he has given us a lot, » said the Spanish coach.
« I’m naturally a bit disappointed, yes, but he told us he had spoken with Luis Enrique and Nasser Al Khelaïfi and there was no way to convince him, » Xavi added.
This announcement thus seals Dembélé’s transfer to PSG, which will soon be officially announced. The transfer fee is reported to be 50 million euros.
