OUSMANE DEMBELE could reportedly leave Barcelona on loan if they sign Antoine Griezmann.
The Catalan side have been strongly linked with a move for the Atletico Madrid man this summer.
He is likely to command a bumper fee of around £88million and his arrival would leave a number of Nou Camp men fighting for their place.
And Mundo Deportivo claim Dembele could become one of the big-name sacrifices at Barcelona – despite him only joining from Borussia Dortmund last summer.
The France international, 20, has suffered a frustrating first season at the club.
He was ruled out for four months with a hamstring injury and was soon back on the sidelines with a recurrence of the original knock.

Despite winning the La Liga title with a 4-2 win over Deportivo on Sunday, their poor showing in the Champions League has chiefs planning an overhaul ahead of the new campaign.
And the potential signing of Griezmann would most likely see him partner Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez in attack.

And that would lead to Barcelona allowing the youngster to depart in order to secure regular football.
The report also claims that they could potentially look to use him as a potential makeweight in any deal for Griezmann.
