DORTMUND REJECTS BARCELONA BID, SUSPENDS DEMBELE
Borrusia Dortmund has
issued a statement in respect of Barcelona target Ousmane Dembele. The team
management officially reacted to the action of the French youngster being
presently courted by Barcelona.
Barcelona is in serious hunt
for a replacement for Neymar who was sold to Paris Saint Germain in a world
record fee of €222 Million. Dembele is one of Barcelona’s main target to
replace the talented Brazilian.
There now appears to be
a new twist to the Dembele saga as Dortmund rejected a bid for the player from
Barcelona and in reaction the player disappeared from training this morning
without excuse and refused to pick his phone. Reports suggested that the
Frenchman had done that to force the transfer.
Dortmund confirmed that
talk was held over his transfer but bid was rejected because Barcelona’s offer
did not meet the player’s ‘extraordinary footballing and other activities’ and
the present economic market situation in Europe.
“Borussia Dortmund has held talks with
FC Barcelona regarding the possible transfer of the BVB player Ousmane Dembele
to FC Barcelona. During this meeting, the representatives of FC Barcelona
submitted a bid which did not correspond with the player’s footballing and
other abilities nor to the present economic market situation of the European
transfer market. BVB therefore rejected this offer… As there is no other offer
from FC Barcelona to date, there is currently no transfer of the player to FC
Barcelona and this is not currently likely
On Dembele’s action,
which the team has termed as clear disrespect, they have taken a drastic action
against him and issued statement in respect. The statement reads
“Ousmane Dembele
today missed the BVB-training-session without any excuse. The player seems to
have done that intentionally… Because of that behavior we will sanction him. The
player is still a Dortmund player. In consultation with our coach we have suspended
him from all practice and match activities until next week after our cup game.”
It
is reported that Dortmund is insisting on €135 Million for the 20 year old
player but Barcelona is not ready to pay that much for the player.
