Gerard Deulofeu, Paco Alcacer 'want out of Barcelona'

Barcelona duo Gerard Deulofeu and Paco Alcacer have reportedly informed boss Ernesto Valverde of their desire to leave the club due to a lack of playing time.

The Catalan giants are flying on the pitch at the moment, winning nine games in a row since going down 5-1 to Real Madrid in the two-legged Supercopa de Espana.

Not all is well in the dressing room, however, as Spanish outlet Marca suggests that a couple of players want to leave Camp Nou when the transfer window reopens in January.

Summer signing Deulofeu featured just three times in September following the arrival of club-record signing Ousmane Dembele, while Alcacer has featured even less frequently - just twice in all this season.

Valverde is expected to grant both players their wish of leaving if he can bring in suitable replacements in the New Year.
