Barcelona lay down the law for Dembele

Ousmane Dembele has been told by the Barcelona hierarchy he has just 48 hours to decide where he wants to play his club football next season according to reports from the Spanish media.

The Frenchman is out of contract at the Camp Nou come the end of the current campaign and Xavi is keen to not lose the winger for nothing.

The club are thought to have offered Dembele a new deal but the former Borussia Dortmund man is not in favour of taking a drastic pay-cut amid Barca’s financial troubles.
