Barcelona want Ousmane Dembele sold after losing patience with him - report

Ousmane Dembele Barcelona

Dembele underwent surgery in February following a torn hamstring tendon and the prognosis is that he will miss the rest of the season.

The Barcelona players recently wore shirts in support of their teammate who has struggled with injury since he joined the club in 2017.

However, the club's hierarchy have lost patience with the 22-year-old and will look to sell him soon, according to AS.

Dembele's total number of days on the treatment table during his time at the Camp Nou now add up to nearly a full year (344).

That number is estimated to grow well over the 500 mark by the time the Frenchman is estimated to make his return.

Las Blaugranas bought Dembele from Borussia Dortmund for the large fee of £112m (including various add-ons).

But with just nine games out of 37 under his belt, it seems his hopes of winning over the powers that be are all but lost.

If Dembele's fitness and form doesn't improve over the next year and a half, Barca face making a substantial loss on the player.
