Ousmane Dembele angers landlord Jurgen Klopp as he leaves Dortmund house ‘in chaos’ after he goes AWOL in desperate bid to force through Barcelona move
OUSMANE DEMBELE has amazingly angered landlord Jurgen Klopp as he left his Dortmund house "in chaos" after going AWOL in a desperate bid to force through his Barcelona move.
The French wonderkid, 20, went missing earlier this month and failed to report to training.
Dembele is hoping to link up with Lionel Messi and Co at the Nou Camp - and has even left his Germany home to get the ball rolling.
However, the forward left his house - of which Liverpool boss Klopp is landlord - in an absolute state.
According to German outlet Bild, the property, both inside and outside, has been left in absolute "chaos".
Klopp still owns the house along with his wife after his days as BVB boss - most recently renting it out to wantaway Dembele.
Pictures of the scene from Bild show bin bags strewn across the front garden, as furniture and clothing have been left behind in the "chaotic" scene.
On the French star's status, current Dortmund boss Peter Bosz said: "I have no idea how exactly this will turn out in the end."

Meanwhile, defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos claimed: "Ousmane's a good boy, but no player is bigger than the team.
"We need players that want to be part of the family. Apparently, he doesn’t.”
Dortmund have already rejected a £90million bid for Dembele, with CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke shrugging off suggestions from Barca's Pep Segura that a deal is close.
Watzke claimed: "I don't know why he [Segura] said that.
"Barcelona is not one step closer to signing Dembele,” Watzke declared on Thursday.
"I can not explain what he is telling me. Maybe it’s because Real played his team dizzy in the Super Cup.”
“Nothing has advanced, not even by a millimetre.”
