Mundo Deportivo are reporting that Barcelona think that Ousmane Dembele’s agent, Moussa Sissoko, has offered him to a number of clubs, including Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool.

What’s the story?

It is being reported by Mundo Deportivo today that Manchester United and Juventus have shown the most interested in signing Dembele.

Liverpool, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain also want the 24-year-old France international forward.

Barcelona want the former Borussia Dortmund star to sign a new contract and stay at Camp Nou beyond the end of the season.

However, the La Liga giants believe that Dembele’s agent, Sissoko, has offered him to a number of clubs, including Liverpool.

Could a Liverpool transfer happen?

TEAMtalk reported over the weekend that Liverpool sporting director Michael Edwards has told his bosses to bring Dembele to Anfield.

Liverpool’s plan is to sign the 24-year-old – described as “one of the craziest natural talents” and “very outstanding” by Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel Soccer Am’s YouTube channel in May 2021 – on a free transfer next summer.

Given that Sissoko is reportedly offering the Frenchman to Liverpool, there is a chance that a transfer could happen, but only next summer.

Philippe Coutinho has also been linked with a return to Liverpool.

El Nacional reported only last month that Barcelona want to sell the Brazil international attacking midfielder to Liverpool, but manager Klopp does not want him back.

It now seems that it is another Barcelona player, Dembele, who could make the switch to Liverpool.
