He should be looking for a new club. No matter how the whole Dembele/Neymar/Griezmann/Coutinho story ends his situation won't change compared to last season.
He would still at best be number 5 on offense in all possible scenarios, Valverde would still not trust him, so there is no way he would suddenly play more. His best bet would be to hope for 2020/21 but even with another coach it would still be difficult for him and he would come off two seasons of not getting much playing time.
When he joined he was the 4th offensive option on paper with Dembele/Suarez/Messi starting and Coutinho in midfield as Iniesta replacement but he'll probably never be that close to the starting 11 as it was planned back then.
I don't think he's a bad player and i wouldn't mind him staying, but i don't see it working out for him at Barca.
