Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang published on his Instagram profile a story to film Memphis Depay. However, he potentially revealed that Ousmane Dembele was in the Barcelona dressing room. This, added to the fact that the national press says his renewal is done, invites us to think that is the case.
What was meant to be an attempt to show off Depay's style could have accidentally revealed some important news. On Tuesday afternoon, Aubameyang published an Instagram story to show off his outfit and Memphis Depay's appearance. The Dutchman was going into the Barcelona training room to train. The Catalans are now in pre-season.
Possibly without realising it, the former Arsenal striker showed Ousmane Dembele sat on one of the benches in the room. He was taking off his shirt and smiling in the direction of his Dutch teammate, who was the main protagonist because he was saying hello to the rest of the footballers in the room.
Added to this 'leak' it is worth adding that, according to 'Sport', the Frenchman's new contract only needs the finishing touches adding to it. The board and Xavi Hernandez's plan is for him to be able to play in Barcelona's tour of the USA, which will be in a few days, so the official announcement could come in less than a week.
But did Dembele train with his teammates despite not officially forming part of the team? In principle, as he is not under contract, he cannot train with the rest although there are cases of professionals who have been able to do it. This includes Alisson at Internacional, his boyhood club, before returning to Liverpool. The Frenchman probably did the same.
