"May the best solution be found for everyone" - Gerard Pique opens up about Ousmane Dembele's situation at Barcelona 

Barcelona captain Gerard Piqué has pitched in on the ongoing Ousmane Dembele saga at Camp Nou. In a discussion on Ibai Llanos, circulated by Sport, the star defender up on the saga involving both sides:

"I understand both parties, we are in a business that moves a lot of money, each one is free to defend their interests, I understand the position of the club and player. May the best solution be found for everyone.

"We are going to see, it is rumored that there may be more operations, we are going to adapt to whatever comes. Comrades have arrived who can help a lot, I think we will be competitive."

The Blaugrana have insisted that Dembele should find himself a new club this window. The French World Cup winner has failed to agree a new contract with Barcelona and, despite claiming to have no desire to leave, might be forced out.

The Frenchman cost Barca over €100 million but has seen his time at the club blighted by injury. They hope they can get something for the player before the summer window to avoid losing him for free.

The French winger has however been linked with a potential move to the Premier League, with Newcastle, Chelsea and Manchester United reportedly keen to acquire his services.

Dembele has been told he has to leave, but has hit back at the club, stating that he won't give in to blackmail. Journalist Javi Miguel slammed the star's open response to the issue:

“Dembele’s letter has an arrogant tone. Ousmane, you’re not in conditions to forbid anything from anyone. The club has hid thousands of your indiscipline acts. Some advice: It’s better not to provoke them and hide yourself a little.”
