Messi wants Dembele sold

Lionel Messi seems to be the biggest fan of Paul Pogba out there. During the entirety of the transfer window, reports in Spain suggested that the Argentine wanted his club to sign Paul Pogba and it seems as though he still wants it to happen.

According to Don Balon, Pogba wants to leave the Old Trafford in January and join Barcelona. However, for that to happen, the Catalans will have to sell one of their players to make room for the Frenchman.

And according to Messi, that player should be none other than Ousmane Dembele, who was only signed last summer for a mammoth potential fee of €147 million, despite the fact that he has started the season quite nicely.
