Rivaldo believes it is the perfect opportunity to sell Dembele

Rivaldo, in his weekly chat on Barcelona as a 'Betfair' ambassador, pointed out that this summer is the right time for the club to sell Dembele.

"He signed for Barcelona almost three years ago and he has now had enough time to settle at the club and show his worth. He continues to be a player with great potential, but I think that this summer could be the perfect opportunity so that Barcelona sell him or include him as part exchange for a Barca signing," he commented.

The Brazilian talked negatively and positively about the French winger: "He has been unlucky with injuries, but he could have also tried to give more in some moments. He has not fulfilled expectations and he could relaunch his career at another club where he can play the best possible."

In addition, Rivaldo also mentioned that the Barca winger could be used as part of a swap deal in the next transfer window: "Barcelona seem to be trying to sign Neymar and Lautaro Martinez so Dembele will probably find it difficult to get a place in the team for next season. In addition, Barcelona would need to reduce their squad numbers. To sign new players, others must leave."
