Ousmane Dembele is being sued for €20,000 by his former landlord over unpaid rent and the state in which he left his apartment.
The 21-year-old has had a difficult year since leaving Borussia Dortmund for Barcelona in 2017, but he has become the subject of controversy in Germany once again.
His former landlord claims the France international owes €15,000 worth of rent and is demanding a further €5,000 in compensation to repair damage done to the home.
