"We understand Dembele's decision is to not continue (at Barca) and we've communicated our decision (to leave him out)," Alemany said.
"We want players that are committed to the club and we have told him he has to leave the club as soon as possible.
"We started talks in July. We have made several offers, which were all rejected. He has been told that he must leave the club, he is not committed to the project."

Maybe it works with agents who are close to Barcelona. That's not the case with me, I'm here to defend my player's interests.
"We're not here to react to debates on social media, but the truth has to be said. Yes, we have high demands, but we've shown in the past that Ousmane's career choices are not dictated by money, else he wouldn't be here.
"Then, if Barcelona wanted to negotiate, they could have come to the table with us to talk.
"Except there are no discussions and there are threats coming from them that he won't play. That's not allowed. We will exercise Ousmane Dembele's rights if necessary.
"We don't know what we're going to do, nothing is decided. But the management are losing Ousmane by themselves.
"From the start, we've shown that we wanted to negotiate, with terms, but without closing the door."
Dembele joined Barcelona in 2017 from Borussia Dortmund for £96million, but he has struggled to maintain fitness and has made just 82 starts for the club. Related links:World Cup 2026 prize money: The staggering amount the winners can earn revealed
