A message for Dembélé

Pending whether or not Memphis Depay arrives, his big dream, Ronald Koeman has had no problem in making it clear to Ousmane Dembélé that he is not essential at Barça. “While he's here, I'll count on him,” he said last Friday. At no time did he speak of him as non-transferable. On the contrary, there was even a slight tug of the ear by a small physical downturn of the player that the Dutchman 'punished' by not taking a minute from him in Balaídos, a stadium where he was injured two seasons ago on the eve of the return of the Champions semi-final against Liverpool. As usual, Dembélé is less because, beyond his physical problems, he is a player with problems to grasp the concepts that the technicians try to internalize in their players.

Reluctant to go out until now, Dembélé begins to think that leaving may be a good option. Whether it is assigned or transferred. Manchester United, as As announced on Tuesday, intends to sign him. An attractive destination, one of the best clubs in the world. His march, in addition, It is one of the keys for Barça to incorporate Depay. All parties could end up collaborating to conclude an agreement that interests everyone.

Dembélé is currently the seventh forward in a team in which Messi, Ansu, Griezmann, Trincao, Coutinho and even Pedri are ahead, who is entering the final minutes of each game to download the Barça game. If Depay came, it would be the eighth. You know what Koeman thinks, so you have to move.
