Dembele insists he did not "blackmail" Barcelona

The relationship between Dembele andBarcelona is cracking

On Thursday, Barca's director of football Mateu Alemany said Dembele had refused to sign a new contract, so he would have to leave in January. Coach Xavi is said to be "speechless" with the French star's new salary offer.

However, through social networks, Dembele responded harshly: "Up to now, everything has gone too far. From now on, I will only answer truthfully. I never blackmail anyone.

I'm only 24 and like everyone else, I have imperfections. I've been through a complicated time, from injuries to Covid.

But even so, I have never failed to meet even the smallest requests from the coach. I always give my all on the pitch because that is my passion.

I know very well how lucky I am to be at the best club in the world like Barca."

Not long before, the former Dortmund member also harshly said: "I forbid anyone to spread rumors that I am not committed to the club. I forbid anyone to attribute to me intentions that I never had. I forbid anyone to speak ill of me or my agent, whom I have complete trust in. I still have a contract with the club and I fully comply with all the rules of the club as well as the coach."
