FC Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele hit back at the club after Barcelona made an official decision that he must “leave the club before the end of the month.”
Barca made this official statement on Thursday after head Coach, Xavi Hernandez left him out of the Copa del Rey match-day squad to face Athletic Bilbao.
Dembele replied Barcelona on his Instagram page on Thursday, “he is not a man who gives in to blackmail.
He said further, “I am still under contract with Barcelona.
“I forbid anyone to speak in my place, in place of my agent, who I have complete confidence in, I am fully at the disposal of my club and my coach.
“I am not a man who cheats and even less a man who has a habit of giving in to blackmail. Surely, love is a kind of blackmail. There are negotiations. I let my agent handle it, it is his turf.

“My field is football, simply playing football, sharing moments of joy with my teammates, our supporters. Let’s focus on the essentials – winning,” Dembele said.
