"Dortmund's legend, Karl-Heinz Riedle, became another person criticizing Ousmane Dembele's transfer to Barcelona. The Catalans paid an impressive 105 million euros for the 20-year-old talent and that amount could rise to as much as 147 million, but no one is happy with the way he expressed his desire to leave. The Frenchman staged a strike and refused to participate in training sessions led by Peter Bosz's team until BvB finally accepted Barça's offer. "He (contributed a lot to the team - ed. note) and we knew it would be difficult to keep him. However, he wanted to represent Barcelona," Riedle, who scored a brace in the 1997 UEFA Champions League final, told Omnisport. "I didn't like how it happened, how he applied pressure. It's ridiculous." "You should be suspended for such things." Dembele's debut with Barcelona did not go smoothly - he suffered an injury in just his second match and has not played since.
