The winger, who cost Dortmund just €15 million from Rennes last year, has been prolific for the German side, earning him a call-up to the French national team. He scored six goals and picked up 13 assists in his one season playing in the Bundesliga.
The France international had made clear his desire to join Ernesto Valverde’s side boycotting training on August 10, in protest after the German club rejected the Catalonia club’s first bid, resulting in him being indefinitely suspended by Dortmund.
