Barcelona are reportedly prepared to freeze Ousmane Dembele out the team if he rejects the chance to sign a new deal with the club.

Barcelona are reportedly prepared to freeze Ousmane Dembele out of the team if he does not commit to a new deal.

The former Borussia Dortmund man is running down the clock on his existing Barcelona contract, which is due to expire in under six months' time.

Dembele can begin discussions over a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs should he wish, as talks over a new deal with the Blaugrana fail to lead to a positive solution.

The France international has struggled for minutes this season due to injuries, but Marca claims that he may have already played his final game for the club if he rejects the chance to extend his stay.

The report adds that Dembele will be immediately transfer listed if he decides to advance his career elsewhere, with Xavi warning the 24-year-old to "make an effort" over his future.

Dembele opened his account for the 2021-22 season in Wednesday's 2-1 Copa del Rey win over Linares and boasts a total of 31 goals and 23 assists in 127 games for the Catalan club.
