Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>France forward Ousmane Dembele joined Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday after Barcelona agreed to a transfer deal worth 50.4 million euros ($55.2 million) for the explosive winger.<\/p>\n

Dembele’s arrival at PSG on a five-year contract comes amid speculation that Neymar could be on his way out.<\/p>\n

The Barcelo head coach, Xavi, felt Dembele’s move to PSG was deceitful.<\/p>\n

“I can talk about how I see him since I arrived here as coach. He\u2019s been a good kid. He\u2019s helped us. We gave him lots of love and tried to make him feel important in the team. To me, he was an important player. But I am very disappointed. Very disappointed. That he decided to leave when he had all the happiness here and we were all betting for him. It has been a big deception for me. I think that his project was here with us. But he chose to go elsewhere. I wish him luck. But in general, the whole thing has been deceitful,\u201d Xavi said.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old joined Barcelona in 2017 on a then club-record transfer from Dortmund that with variables was set to reach 147 million euros (then $173 million.<\/p>\n

After suffering serious injuries early in his stay at Barcelona, Dembele consolidated himself as one of its most irreplaceable players thanks to his speed and playmaking.<\/p>\n

He renewed his contract last summer and was set to stay at the Spanish giants until the end of next season.<\/p>\n

Dembele scored 62 goals in 185 appearances for Barca and helped the team win three Spanish leagues and two Copa del Rey titles.<\/p>\n

Barcelona head coach Xavi Hernandez commented on Ousmane Dembe\u0301le\u0301’s transfer to PSG and called it ‘deceitful’.<\/p>\n

Xavi refused to be drawn on Neymar’s potential return to the club ahead of the start of the La Liga season.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian forward is set to leave PSG and reports suggest he is headed back to Spain for a second spell with the Catalan club.<\/p>\n

Xavi refused to talk about potential transfers as he prepares the team for the start of their defence away to Getafe on Sunday.<\/p>\n
