Barcelona president Joan Laporta has taken a swipe at Ousmane Dembele's agent.

Off contract in June, Dembele's future remains up in the air with agent Moussa Sissoko having held talks with Newcastle, Arsenal and Manchester United since the New Year.

Laporta told RAC1: "I really like Dembele. I think he's a great player.

"What also happened to him is that, like Sergi Roberto, we made him an offer which expired on December 20... If a deal is reached, it will be within the established limits.

"I will say with all due respect that the agent is a box of surprises and you never know what can happen."
