According to Juan Marti, a reporter from the Daily Sports Newspaper, Barca boss Xavi feels cheated by Dembele.
11 days ago, on December 20, barca coaching staff had a two-hour conversation with Dembele, informing dembele that he could be a key player in the team, and Dembele also told Xavi and the entire coaching staff that he wanted to continue to play for Barca and felt important.
It was Dembele's statement that made Xavi and his entire coaching staff believe that Dembele would renew his contract with Barca. But now the situation is not the same as Xavi thought, because according to previous reports, Dembele has rejected Barca's contract extension.
