President says 24-year-old Tottenham reportedly tried to sign on deadline day is ‘better than Mbappe’

🥃Barcelona president Joan Laporta has come out and claimed that Tottenham Hotspur-linked Ousmane Dembele is a better player than Kylian Mbappe.
🅰The Frenchman’s saga at Camp Nou is still ongoing. Dembele rejected a new contract at Barcelona and even after he was publicly told to leave the club, he refused and stayed put.
🔜Barcelona are absolutely furious with Dembele at the moment and there’s a good chance he may never play for the club again, especially after Adama Traore’s arrival in his position.
✅However, that hasn’t stopped Laporta from singing praises of the 24-year-old.
Barcelona president: Ousmane Dembele is better than Kylian Mbappe
💦In Traore’s press conference yesterday, Laporta said, as per : “I still think that Dembele is better than Mbappe.
♚“I don’t regret having said it (in the past) because we are convinced of his talent. That’s why we made him a very good renewal offer.
𝄹“Dembele has been accompanied by circumstances that have not been the best. He has had many injuries, he is a player who cost a lot of money and we all hoped to see him for many years.
🍎“We have always wanted to understand and help him and from the club, we wanted to look forward and show his talent.”

Dembele rejected Tottenham on transfer deadline day
꧒ revealed on deadline day that Tottenham made an offer to Barcelona to sign Dembele hours before the window shut.
☂The report claimed that the two clubs couldn’t agree a deal, but later revealed that Dembele refused to even talk to Tottenham and other interested clubs. That’s why a deal never materialised.
ܫIt is further claimed that Barcelona are furious with Dembele’s attitude and they believe that the Frenchman may have already agreed a deal with Spurs’ Premier League rivals Manchester United or Italian giants Juventus.
꧒That doesn’t mean Tottenham cannot make a move for him again in the next few months, but it will not be easy to sign him now that he’ll be a free agent in the summer.
