Ousmane Dembele, a 22-year-old soccer player, has allegedly liked a photo on Instagram in which he is depicted in a Liverpool jersey amid reports that Barcelona FC was ready to sell the footballer in the summer.
The Catalans acquired the striker in 2017 from Dortmund Borussia for 125 million euros.

After that, fans flooded Twitter to react to Dembele’s speculated transfer, with some even branding him a "traitor":
This honestly breaks my heart. The amount of money the club wasted on 2 players while all we needed was a few twitches in management area and other positions....now we are about to sell them in a loss (no profit) without any replacement.
