Ousmane Dembele is prepared to quit the Spanish powerhouses, according to Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez, who received a bid from Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday.

In a 1-0 victory over AC Milan on Tuesday in Las Vegas, Barcelona completed its preseason tour of North America without Dembele, 26.

Following the game, Hernandez said on Spanish television that French international Dembele, who scored in the win against Real Madrid previous weekend in Dallas, had been left out after telling Barcelona he wanted to go.

I’ll be frank about it, Hernandez stated. He was extremely frank when he said, “He has a proposal from Paris Saint-Germain, they have phoned him from there and here we cannot do anything. He has asked us that he wants to leave. He makes his own decisions.

“To me, it hurts because I think we have taken great care of him here so that he is happy and content and continues to make a difference for us.”

But he claims to have this proposal and to have made up his mind to depart. He has not played today because of this.

Dembele has one year remaining on his deal with the La Liga powerhouses after joining Barcelona in 2017.

Tuesday’s victory for Barcelona was made possible by Ansu Fati’s amazing second-half goal.

Alejandro Balde, a young left defender for Barcelona, launched a counterattack in the 55th minute to end a dull game at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium.

 

Just inside the Milan area, the 19-year-old Spanish international passed to Fati, who then cut in from the left before curling an excellent shot into the top corner.
