Barcelona are disappointed by the situation with forward Ousmane Dembele, who might not play for the club again this season, president Joan Laporta said on Wednesday.

The France international was told to leave before the January transfer window closed after contract negotiations broke down, but he was unable to find another club and will stay at Barca until the end of the campaign.
