Barcelona boss Xavi has warned Ousmane Dembele to "make an effort" over his future at the club.

The attacker has now entered the final six months of his deal with the Blaugrana, and talks over an extension are yet to bear fruit.

Barca are reportedly prepared to sell Dembele this month if he does not agree to a new deal, and Xavi has urged the France international to think carefully about his next decision.

Speaking to reporters at a press conference, Xavi said: "I have already said it to him, I am waiting for him to make an effort. The situation cannot be better for him. Let's see what he decides.

"I'm hoping that he puts in effort before deciding. I am calm and waiting on an update. It does not depend on me. It depends on the club and him. He should think about himself and his future."

Dembele continues to be linked with a switch to Manchester United, although Newcastle United are believed to have proposed a 'monster' contract offer in their bid to prise him away from Barcelona.

The 24-year-old has only made eight appearances for Barca this term due to injury and also tested positive for COVID-19 last month. body check tags ::
