Dembele is sued by his ex-landlord after leaving his house in an 'unfortunate condition' LaLiga Santander - Barcelona Rubbish and unpaid bills left scattered

Just when things seemed that they couldn't get any worse for Ousmane Dembele, the Barcelona star's ex-landlord has demanded 20,725.76 euros plus interest for the supposed bad state in which the footballer left the last house that he had rented in Dortmund.

A number of current and ex-Barcelona players have warned the young Frenchman to clean up his act, and this will only add to the tension at the club at this time.

In the complaint lodged with the Court of First Instance of Dortmund and to which German newspaper, Bild, has had access, the ex-owner states that the player caused "considerable damage" in the single-family dwelling.

"Everywhere there was garbage and rubbish," the owner, Gerd Weissenberg, 71, told Bild.

"In the fridge there was rotten food, between the cupboards were many old plastic bags and on the floor, dry spots.

"Behind the front door was a pile of unpaid bills, so apparently I am not the only one cheated."

The rental contract was not rescinded in the established period, nor was the handing back of the house was carried out officially.

Bild have published several photos of the "unfortunate conditions on the leased property."

They show the state in which the player allegedly left the house when he left Dortmund to sign for Barcelona in the summer of 2017.

Dembele didn't return the keys to the house, so the landlord was forced to change all the locks, and an added problem is that the court doesn't have any forwarding address for the player in Barcelona, so the demand for payment can't be delivered.
