Dembele reveals to Xavi the reason for his departure .. He wanted to continue, but in a healthy environment
Frenchman Ousmane Dembele, who is close to leaving Barcelona for Paris Saint-Germain, revealed the reason for his preference to leave the Catalan team.
Earlier, coach Xavi Hernandez met with the French winger, in an attempt to dissuade him from the decision to leave, and to assure him of the importance of his role in the team’s plans for the next season, but the latter preferred to go through a new experience.
And Xavi himself publicly admitted, in his interview with TV3 after the match against AC Milan, that the French player had given him his arguments that prompted him to leave, “but without specifying the details.”
According to a report by the Spanish newspaper “AS”, on Thursday, Dembele told Xavi during their recent meeting that his decision was only due to the board’s lack of confidence in him, and he thanked Xavi for everything he did for him when no one trusted him.
The same source added that Dembele also told Xavi that he “wanted to continue with Barcelona and win titles, but in a healthy environment,” noting that “there are people in the team who always annoy him.”
And the “AS” report also indicated that the French’s arguments did not convince Xavi, who left the meeting with great disappointment from the striker, at a time when the player left for Paris to complete his transfer to Paris Saint-Germain.
