'Dembele still adapting at Barcelona'

Dembele joined Barcelona for big money last summer as a replacement for the outgoing Neymar, but he has since failed to live up to expectations after suffering a serious injury. 

"It's a normal situation for a young player with a lot of talent who has arrived at a club as big as Barca, full of great players. He had never experienced that before and there's an adaptation process that he has to go through," Segura said. 

"He's really young and he's never had to get up to adjust to a playing style like ours. We admit he's finding it difficult. He also recognises that. What we are doing is working as hard as possible so that he can adapt in the best possible way.

"It's true that I had a meeting with the agents of Dembele. But yesterday I had three meetings with three representatives. My job is to meet with representatives, they are common things."
