Raphinha and Ousmane Dembele are reportedly set to battle for their Barcelona futures, with one of the two set to leave the club at the end of the season.

One of Raphinha or Ousmane Dembele are reportedly set to leave Barcelona at the end of the season.

After joining Barcelona from Leeds United in the summer, Raphinha has been competing with Dembele for a place on the right wing.

The Brazil international has only started 10 games in all competitions, compared to the 16 starts Dembele has made this season.

Barcelona boss Xavi has tried to rotate the two players, and he has occasionally played the pair on opposite flanks, but the situation is believed to be unsustainable.

According to AS, Raphinha and Dembele have both stated that they do not want to play on the left wing, which will leave Xavi with a difficult choice to make on matchdays.

The report claims that one of the two could be allowed to leave the club next summer, with the pair set to battle for their Barcelona futures in the second half of the season.

While Raphinha has registered two goals and four assists in 18 appearances this term, Dembele has scored five goals and provided seven assists in the 20 games he has featured in.
