Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde feels Ousmane Dembele should be allowed to leave in January - though with a catch.

Valverde believes Dembele should be loaned out for six months so to ease the tension between the player and management over the Frenchman's attitude problems.

Okdiario's chief pundit Eduardo Inda explained on El Chiringuito: "Valverde has said that they should loan Dembélé in the winter market.

"He has recommended the option."

Valverde feels it would be better for all parties to spend some time apart before a definitive decision over Dembele's place with the club is made.
