Former player wants to return but Laporta gives him a historic sh,ock: You will never return

Barcelona is navigating a challenging period marked by internal issues related to transfers and team performance, sparking concerns about the club’s future strategies. Although the team has achieved some successes, certain sporting decisions could impact its stability moving forward.

Reports from the Catalan newspaper *Sport* reveal that Ousmane Dembélé is struggling at Paris Saint-Germain, where he has faced heavy criticism for the team’s poor performance. Following Kylian Mbappé’s departure to Real Madrid, Dembélé was expected to rise to the occasion but has been overwhelmed by the pressure. His situation was further complicated by disciplinary issues, leading to punishment from coach Luis Enrique weeks ago.

Since then, tensions between Dembélé and Enrique have grown, compounded by PSG’s disappointing results in the Champions League. With qualification looking increasingly unlikely, the team faces a tough task in their upcoming clash against Manchester City. Meanwhile, Dembélé observes Barcelona’s continued success from afar.

Having departed Barcelona despite strong support from coach Xavi Hernández, Dembélé joined PSG after accepting a lucrative financial offer. Over a year later, he reportedly regrets his decision and has expressed a desire to work under Hans-Dieter Flick. However, Barcelona’s management, led by Joan Laporta and Deco, appears uninterested in facilitating his return. PSG would likely demand a significant transfer fee, further complicating any potential move.

Barcelona’s current roster may also make a reunion unnecessary. Young talents like Lamine Yamal and Raphinha Dias have stepped up, playing key roles in attack alongside Robert Lewandowski. Their impressive performances have lessened any need for Dembélé’s return.

The club also remembers his departure vividly, particularly his celebration of goals against Barcelona in last season’s Champions League. For fans, Dembélé remains “persona non grata,” making a return unlikely and effectively closing the door on any potential reconciliation.
