The agent of Ousmane Dembele has taken fresh aim at Barcelona management as new contract talks continue.

Moussa Sissoko has been in negotiations for months as Dembele's deal runs down this season.

And Sissoko rapped Barca coach Xavi for calling up Dembele with no training preparation last week.

He told L'Equipe: "We talk many times about money when it comes to the renewal of Ousmane, but it is not only a question of money. Also of day-to-day management.

"This sports management with this return to play without training, just after covid, is what makes things really difficult for us."
