Scandal Dembélé: "Is it true?" And it is (and Messi is in the mess)

The signing star of last summer has closed a disastrous season that can only save the World Cup, at Barça they expect it

When Barça made official the march of Neymar to Paris-Saint Germain for 222 million euros, both the fans and the sports management decreed the state of alarm.

A disproportionate amount of money had entered the club, but the emotional impact of having lost a reference to the team that was destined to be the relay of Leo Messi was too great.

Facing the emergency of supplying the Brazilian and the impossibility of closing both Marco Verrati and Philippe Coutinho - which would end up signing in winter - the name of Ousmane Dembeléwas marked in red as the only possible replacement.

The azulgrana club needed a player who woke up illusion and with possibilities of being among the best of the world in the following years, and chose the French as the chosen player.

Now, a season later, no one doubts in qualifying the course of the French of nefarious and the scandal that supposes its situation affects all the estates of the institution. In all circles of the sports city of Barça runs the same question: "Is it true?"

The impossible operation

The answer to the question that pursues all managers is that yes, they are looking for equipment for Dembelé facing the coming year, but there is no way to find accommodation in any large team.

Leo Messi and Luis Suarez have defenestrated the French player, and demand the arrival of Antoine Griezmannto occupy the third position of attack of the team. Therefore, Barca rushes to get rid of Dembelé , but it does not succeed.

Neither Atlético de Madrid is interested in changing him for his key player unless it is through a transfer, nor does Liverpoolintend to pay 100 million for him to supply Mohamed Salah .

Dembelé will only leave if it is in the form of a loan, and even under this format, Barça will have to assume part of the salary of former Borussia Dortmund . The rush to sign him placed the player in a privileged situation, and now it has become a problem in Barcelona .
