Barca are considering cutting their losses as the Frenchman only managed to make 12 league starts and scored three goals in an injury-stricken first campaign at the Nou Camp.

Dembele has also been pushed down the pecking order after the Catalan giants signed Malcom from Bordeaux.
The La Liga champions, however, only seem willing to sell him if they receive an offer in the region of £89m.
Arsenal boss Unai Emery is very keen to sign him and see him reunited with former Dortmund teammate Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who he spent an evening with in London last week.
Dembele made a name for himself in the Bundesliga outfit where he scored 10 goals in 50 appearances.
However, Emery prefers to pay £8.9m to land him on a season-long loan and then splash £80m after 12 months to make the deal permanent.
