That does not matter that much since they are going to struggle signing anyone as good to replace him. And unless he has a massive injury his market value would not go down over the next few years.
I hope he still has his underwear on atleast..
Good buy for them, it's the player I would have most wanted if I were a Barca fan lamenting the loss of Neymar.
I agree but that's not what I'm talking about. In the past, Dembélé made it pretty clear that his goal was to play for Barcelona and the Neymar move made that dream possible this summer, so he will push for it. Like I previously Dortmund still hold the cards and they should take Barcelona to the cleaner because from their standpoint it's wasn't really anticipated, since no one thought that one of the "three monsters" would move. For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure that Griezmann would go on strike too.
BTW: I like how Bartomeu went on about loyalty only a couple of days ago and now has one of his transfer targets on strike in order to force a move.
I do like that lad. He is ice cool under pressure. Really is the cream of the crop.
The game is the game.
I know but you can't really keep a player that is going to be extremely unhappy.
Yeah, but people know not to feck with RedBull. They get angry at Liverpool they might just buy the whole club and dissolve it in a pool of RedBull.
But, always wonder do clubs really think players would actually refuse to play or play like crap almost purposely knowing whatever club they are trying to force a transfer to would probably lose interest if they were inactive or were in poor form.
You raise an interesting point. I don't know how Dembele would act if Dortmund decided to not sell him and keep him for another year. I think eventually he'd stop moaning and do his job...
On the other hand, in the future players might think ''hmm Dortmund won't allow me to make a transfer whenever I want it"...
RvP's form went down drastically once SAF went out. He became sad, was not well so many times.
Yaya Toure played well below average whenever he was (or his agent was) sad
Big bucks for the agent who took him to dortmund 
.
.I always wonder how you could prove or punish lack of effort legally. I mean if they let Demebel rot on the bench for four years, he´ll have a hard time coming back from that at age 24. Probably would need a year just to get back up to speed, but obviously you don´t want to pay him full wages for the time.
That is what I think would happen too which is why I wonder why clubs cave in so quickly.
Dortmund also has shareholders to listen to. If investors push Dortmund to sell Dembele and cash in 130M Euros then that's that.
I was especially referring to players upset they did not get the transfer they want. Not players who were just unhappy.
True but, Dortmund have gotten over the financial troubles they had in the past right?
All the clubs are like that, a bunch of hypocrites. They have no problem going after other clubs players, but when it comes to their own, they feel butt hurt about it.
Depending on the player, it could affect his moral and he could underperform without doing it on purpose. It could also affect the image of the club in the future in the eyes of young players who will be reluctant to join your club because you will deny them the move they have always dreamed about, that's partially why he rejected PSG for example.
If Dembélé is genuinely refusing to train then he is totally in the wrong but it's kind of predictable.
Not getting transfer is one way of getting upset and unhappy. Maybe after some months, players would be ok. But the player could be disturbed for some months and give half hearted performances.
How would they though?
Here we go again. Barca doing the same shit as always, even after crying for PSG doing this with Neymar
2 of the top young attacking talents in the world may be moving this summer and we are nowhere in the conversation as possible destination for either of them.
But, they have to know that if they start giving half hearted performances the top clubs would lose interest.
My only thought regarding this is that I would hope wev'e already made inquiries but have been told they are already decided on where they want to go
Borussia Dortmund GmbH & Co. KGaA ("BVB") has held a meeting with the catalan football club FC Barcelona about a possible transfer of BVB player Ousmane Dembélé ("player") to FC Barcelona.
In this meeting, the representatives of FC Barcelona have submitted a bid which, however, did not correspond to the player's extraordinary footballing value and status as well as to the current econonomic market situation of the European transfer market. BVB therefore rejected this offer.
As there is no other offer from FC Barcelona to date, a transfer of the player to FC Barcelona is at present not more than likely.

To be honest, I doubt that. Barca would just know that if Dembele underperforms it's because he didn't get his transfer. They know that when he eventually does move to Barca he'll be up and firing again. His potential is there to see for everyone.
But, wouldn't you worry that he would down tools again if things were not going his way at Barca?
I'd start Rakitić instead of a 33 year old Iniesta. He can start the less physically daunting games and make an impact from the bench. It's a pretty strong XI.
I don't think Barca would worry too much about that at this moment. It's easier to throw a hissy fit at Dortmund than at Barca anyway because Barca is simply so much more bigger and intimidating.
Players aren't robots, they will have ups and downs depending on their physical and mental form, clubs know that, just look at De Bruyne and Draxler. But they will try to move at the first opportunity.
Nice. If I'd call the shots in Dortmund I'd tell them 210m and settle for 180, while showing them the door of the offer less.Borussia Dortmund GmbH & Co.

In the case of Draxler a bit off topic I think people are really overreacting to a few good months at PSG. I think he is going to go back to the same inconsistent player he was before. I think that is just what he is rather than anything about whether he is happy or not.
Barca gonna have to pay nearly what they got for Neymar just for Dembele. Must be awful to be them currently. Funny part is they're replacing him instead of strengthening their squad elsewhere in places they're weak/old.
Haha, his Wikipedia page seems to be messed around with constantly or at least frequently, at any given time.
Barca is where he wants to be.
Yes, he's been pretty clear about this for awhile now that his dream is to play at Barcelona. Offer that was initially rejected was 80 + incentives bringing it up to 110 million, there is certain to be a follow up offer
