Masour Ousmane Dembélé, the 26-year-old French footballer, who played 6 seasons for FC Barcelona, added one more controversy to his resume. After a time with more pain than glory for the Blaugrana, in which he gained notoriety for his constant injuries that accumulated a total of 784 days out according to Transfermarkt, his influence on the signings of the culé team was recently known.

It is hard to believe that a footballer whose signing cost the impressive sum of 145 million euros adding the variables and who spent almost 2 years out, if you add the days he accumulated in the infirmary with his various injuries, has had an influence on Xavi Hernández to determine if the French full-back Benjamin Pavard should be signed, which was one of the possibilities that the coach was evaluating.

Dembélé would have said according to the information revealed by Javi Miguel in the 'Barça Reservat' program that Benjamin Pavard has a history of conflicts and tends to generate tensions in the locker room. The cold numbers say that the full-back wanted by penalty to Messi in the final.

It is more than Dembélé can say that he has not scored a goal in World Cups. Furthermore, it is worth remembering that Dembélé was accused of having made racist comments based on a video that was broadcast in which he can be heard expressing himself in a discriminatory manner towards hotel staff in Japan who did not understand the language. This was not denied by the player. It doesn't seem like a moral compass for anyone, least of all when deciding on a signing.

PSG paid 50 million for Dembélé and he doesn't score goals

Dembélé's present is one to forget, since Paris Saint Germain signed him he has played 9 games and has not scored a goal for the Parisian team. Although PSG paid him a third of what the signing cost for FC Barcelona, so far it seems like money was wasted because he has not shown what was expected of him.
