Barcelona forward, Ousmane Dembele has come out to react to the club trying to force him to sign a new deal with a pay cut. He recently had his say via a statement, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, what Barcelona is trying to do is nothing but blackmail and he doesn’t have a habit of giving in to blackmail because he hates cheating.
Dembele, however, added that he is still under contract and he is fully at the disposal of his club and coach.
His words, “I forbid anyone to speak in my place, in place of my agent, who I have complete confidence in.”
“I am still under contract. I am fully at the disposal of my club and my coach.”
“I am not a man who cheats and even less a man who has a habit of giving in to blackmail. Surely, love is a kind of blackmail. There are negotiations. I let my agent handle it, it is his turf.”
“My field is football, simply playing football, sharing moments of joy with my team-mates, our supporters. Let’s focus on the essentials – winning.”
