Barcelona has received another offer for Ousmane Dembele, however, this offer is unlike any other as it includes a worrying ultimatum for the Catalan club.
At Barcelona the pressure continues to build as the summer transfer window approaches, Josep Maria Bartomeu would have to act judiciously when considering the players that are to be sold and the players that are to be signed, since his post as president is on the line.

The players that feature on the agenda to be sold are Ousmane Dembele, Arturo Vidal, Samuel Umtiti, and possibly Ivan Rakitic, however, in the case of Ousmane Dembele, this might be the final opportunity for the club to get rid of the former Borussia Dortmund player.
Ever since Ousmane Dembele was announced as Blaugrana in the summer of 2017, the French forward has been cursed with long term injuries that reoccur every season. If Barca does not manage to get rid of their second most expensive signing this season and if he incurs another set back in the coming season of 2020, it would be almost impossible for the club to offload him since no other football team would want a player with such a long history of injuries.
The French forward has only featured in 74 games in three seasons since 2017, the talented French has missed more games due to injuries than the number of games he has played for the club.
However, El Desmarque claims that another club has lined up an offer for Ousmane Dembele, but this time the offer comes with a stern condition as well, that the French forward must be in a sound physical state with no injuries before the Catalans accept the bid.
Quique Setien and the board is more than happy to depart with Ousmane Dembele who has been more of a liability for the club than an asset, however, the former Real Betis manager has informed the board that he wants Philippe Coutinho to stay at the club next season as he promises to deliver a winning project.
In the case of Philippe Coutinho, the Brazilian is stuck in no man’s land, the board at Barcelona wants him out neither does Bayern Munich want to exercise the hefty clause to sign the midfielder. It all depends on whether Bartomeu trusts Quique Setien who believes in the former Liverpool man.
