Arsenal have been credited with an interest in the French winger.
Arsenal might have a hard time trying to prise Ousmane Dembele from Camp Nou.
According to AS, Arsenal are interested in bringing the Barcelona winger to North London once the transfer window opens.
The same publication reported this past weekend that the 22-year-old France international has wondered about the idea of living in a different city, amid speculation about his future.
But if one latest report is true, there’s no chance of him going anywhere.
Sport in Spain have now reported that Barcelona still ‘trust’ Dembele in spite of a series of injury problems since joining in a £97 million deal in 2017.
Not only that, but Barca, according to Sport, hope that there’ll be an ‘explosion’ from the former Borussia Dortmund star next season in terms of standard.
Dembele’s latest injury was a six-month layoff confirmed in February, meaning that he was set to miss Euro 2020 before it was postponed for a year due to the global health emergency.
But if that report is true then the Spanish giants clearly believe that he’ll come back much stronger for the 2020-21 campaign and therefore there’s no sense in selling – or even loaning – if they genuinely think he’ll be transformed.
