At the end of the game against Milan, Xavi Hernández admitted that he ended up a little disappointed with Ousmane Dembélé, who should close his transfer to PSG in the next few hours . The French striker has not participated in the last duel of the tour of the United States and the Barça coach has confirmed that he has not counted on him precisely because he has already told them that he is leaving.
“I will be very clear, he has asked us that he wants to leave, he has a proposal from PSG and we cannot do anything. It tastes bad to me but it is a personal decision. We have taken great care of him but it is the law of the market, we cannot compete with the proposal that they’ve done to him, he’s out of our reach.”
Xavi has recognized that the financial offer they have made him is unaffordable for the club at this time. They are 20 million clean euros per season . “I wish him all the luck in the world, although I’m a hair disappointed, yes I am. But he told us that he had spoken with Luis Enrique and Nasser and that he was leaving. There has been no way to convince him,” he added.
Regarding the duel against Milan, the Barça coach ended up very satisfied. “I end up feeling very good. We have played and competed very well. We have seen a very good Barça side and this is the path. For me it has been the best match, I am very satisfied”.
Praise has also been carried by Ansu Fati, the author of the only goal of the match. A real goal. “The goal will go very well for him to gain confidence. Ansu has a goal and from three quarters up he is a differential footballer. Today we won because of his goal. He is working very well, like Ferran. Like everyone, I would like to highlight that the whole team He’s been very supportive.”
Finally, he has positively valued the American tour despite the problems with the intestinal virus in the first days and that prevented them from playing against Juventus. “We have trained very well and we have competed in all the games. I am happy, the balance is positive”.
