Barcelona ace Lionel Messi is angry over their move for Borussia Dortmund striker Ousmane Dembele.

The France international skipped training without permission yesterday as BVB confirmed rejecting an offer from Barcelona in the afternoon.

Messi wants to see Barca bring Paulo Dybala to the club from Juventus and believes Dembele simply isn't a patch on his Argentina teammate.

Don Balon says further angering Messi is Barca's willingness to pay over €100m for Dembele, which he regards as a ridiculous valuation for an unproven player. His opinion is shared by many teammates.

Knowing that BVB are prepared to sell for €120m, Messi is baffled why Barca refuse to make a similar offer to Juve for Dybala this month.
