Ousmane Dembélé was offered to the “big teams” of Europe before the FIFA World Cup, according to journalist Gerard Romero.
The player has been linked with a move after a disappointing first season at Barcelona hampered by injuries. However, the club had publicly stated they did not want to get rid of one of the most promising talents in the world.
Still, Romero says they shopped him around, and he considers the situation “difficult” at the moment.
There were reports that the player was unsettled by the arrival of Malcom, another winger, to the Camp Nou.
