Many thinking we made him do it.
People ever thought that this might actually fuck up for us? Dortmund might go from sitting down and talking with us to shutting down the door completely. In that case Dembele would just have to live with it and do his best for another year.
An article in MD stated that we insured dortumnd that we in no way instigated him to do this, Also mentioned dembele being scolded by his representative for his actions, Including the social media stuff, Seems like it was a solo decision, We'll never know the truth.
These type of action won't make things harder with a team like dortmund, But in fact easier, For one simple reason, They can't afford to keep such a player just to prove a point, It's too wasteful and not worth it for them.
If we're talking about a club like PSG, Then yes, it's very likely they'll bench a player with the calibre of dembele or even send him to the reserve team, Just to prove a point, They're just filthy rich, And don't care, Why do you think verratti didn't start skipping training?, It certiantly wasn't because he's honorable, He knew what PSG will do to him if start pulling these kind of shenanigans.
