Laporta deletes one name from list of Dembele replacements (reliability: 5 stars)

According to the reliable Gerard Romero, Barcelona president Joan Laporta has personally removed the name of Angel Di Maria from the list of players who could replace Ousmane Dembele.

The Argentine winger is now closer to signing for Juventus as a free agent.

If Dembele eventually leaves as a free agent, Barca may replace him with Raphinha, Ez Abde, Trincao, or some other new signing.

Barca are close to making a big sale of their merchandise which would bring enough money to see finally see some new recruits walk through the door.
