The report also states that Messi and Suarez don’t want to see Dembele line up next to them up front for Barca, and that for Coutinho to replace him in attack, the club are going to have to sign a central midfielder, and it looks like Rabiot is the man they want.
Coutinho has shown during his time with both Barca and Liverpool that he is best when going forward and constructing attacks, something that he’s struggled to do for the Spanish giants when played in the centre of the park.
This news won’t be pleasant for Dembele to hear, as he’d want surely want the backing of his teammates as he finally looks to get his Barcelona career into first gear.
Rabiot would be a great signing for Barca, however we’re sure it’s one that Dembele would rather the club miss out on following this news regarding Messi and Suarez.
