Xavi and Laporta Have Disagreements About Dembele

DBasia.news – Barcelona president Joan Laporta and Xavi Hernandez are said to have different views regarding the presence of Oesmane Dembele in the first team.

Laporta thinks that Dembele will not get the chance and that his career at Barcelona is over. But Xavi believes he will still give the French player a chance.

Barcelona and Dembele’s relationship soured because no agreement was reached on a contract extension. In addition, Barcelona in the transfer market yesterday managed to bring in Adama Traore.

Barcelona did try to sell Dembele in the transfer window yesterday. However, in the end Dembele still feels at the club.

“It will be very difficult for Dembele to play,” Laporta said of Dembele’s chances at Barcelona, ​​as quoted by Marca.

However, Xavi is willing to put Dembele back into the first team for the remainder of the season. Xavi is unconcerned by the fact that Dembele is likely to leave in the summer transfer window.

The inclusion of Adama Traore and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang makes Barca’s current squad has depth. It is undeniable that new players will need a period of adaptation.

Because of that, Xavi thinks he can still take advantage of Dembele’s power. Xavi didn’t want to put too much pressure on the new signings from the start.

Meanwhile Dembele could play a key role in helping Aubameyang adapt. They both know each other since defending Borussia Dortmund.

In addition, Xavi will be aware that Dembele’s dissatisfaction with the situation will only increase if he does not play for the club again. The risk arises potential disharmony in the dressing room.

Marca reports that Barcelona’s coaching staff will soon hold a meeting about Dembele. Laporta is rumored to be attending.
