Going to Qatar.
Umtiti 2.0.
So is he getting surgery and missing 3 months minimum or like Umtiti trying to muscle it through for the sake of missing maybe just 1 month less (which will likely end in another premature return and another injury, which could keep him out for twice the time altogether, then if he went and got surgery right away, not like Umtiti. I was hoping Dembele would go the surgery route, and yes, he'd be missed pretty much until February or March, but at least then he'd be healed 100% and could still salvage his Barca career until the end of this season. Cause if it turns out like it did with Umtiti, for Dembele that would probably be fatal, as far as his time at Barca is concerned, I mean he'd be then out for the rest of this season season and most likely we'll be looking to sell him on in the summer to pretty much the first bidder, since bar Messi and Suarez we have very little patience with our forwards in the past few years.
I really think Dembele to Man City might happen, there are reports that he'd only be willing to go there, even though PSG and some other clubs are interested. And i'm pretty sure Pep is the main reason for that. And since Sane seems to be destined for Bayern next summer, Dembele would be pretty much their perfect and instant replacement. And I can't say it wouldn't be great seeing Dembele under Pep, Valverde and all the Dembele haters would get so exposed, if Dembele would turn into another Sterling, it would really be enjoyable to see, even though it would hurt to see Dembele leave us.
BUT there's another twist, Pep could very much leave City in the next year or two, and that would change things massively, since I think Pep is the main reason Dembele WOULD be willing to leave his dream club, as I think he's still very much hopeful he could be a star for us.
