Barcelona: Xavi makes Ousmane Dembélé’s departure official

This announcement should put an end to the Ousmane Dembélé soap opera. Barça coach Xavi Hernandez has officially announced the departure of french winger.

During the friendly match against AC Milan in Las Vegas, the Catalan coach left the 26-year-old winger on the bench.

The Catalans beat the Rossoneri 1-0 thanks to a goal from Ansu Fati. Speaking at the post-match press conference, Xavi Hernandez announced his player’s departure for Paris Saint-Germain.

«I wish Ousmane Dembélé all the best at PSG. He’s given us so much. Of course, I tried to convince him to stay, but he told me he’d spoken to Nasser Al-Khelaifi and Luis Enrique. We couldn’t convince him, it’s his final decision», Xavi Hernandez told TV3.
