Xavi ‘warns Ousmane Dembele about leaving Barcelona for PSG by reminding him of Neymar’s regret’
- Xavi spoke to winger Ousmane Dembele yesterday as he looks to move to PSG
- The Barcelona manager reminded him of Neymar’s regret since his departure in 2017
- Dembele is expected to miss Barcelona’s match against Milan at 4am tomorrow
Barcelona manager Xavi has reportedly warned Ousmane Dembele as he craves a move to PSG by reminding him of Neymar’s regrets.
Dembele has turned down a contract offer from Barca and the price of a transfer to the French giants has reportedly been set at around £43 million.
His contract with Nou Camp expires next summer and he informed the club of his intention to activate his £43m release clause before doubling it on Monday. Barcelona would not hold him to the new £86 million clause if he left.
And Xavi warned the 26-year-old about trading Catalonia for the French capital after Neymar did the same in 2017, according to Mundo Deportivo.
Barcelona arrived in Las Vegas nine hours late, in part because of their manager’s conversation with the dissolute ghost at the Thompson Hotel.

Dembele is angling for a move. He still has a lot to offer, he scored against Real Madrid in July
It is believed he will miss Barcelona’s friendly against AC Milan in the wee hours of Wednesday as he contemplates his future and tries to avoid injury lest the process fail.
Just three days ago, he opened the scoring against Real Madrid as Barca stormed to a 3-0 win in the El Clásico in Arlington.
It gave a taste of what the French international still has to offer in Blaugrana colors, even if he has become disillusioned lately.
In six seasons with the club, he scored 40 goals in 185 games.
Neymar endured a mixed spell at PSG, never reaching the heights he did in Spain
