According to CM, Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United could make a move for Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele.
The report in the Italian news outlet has claimed that Newcastle are interested in the former Borussia Dortmund forward and could pay his release clause.
According to Sport, the France international forward has a release clause of €50 million (£44 million) in his contract at Barcelona.
And, CM have claimed that Newcastle could pay it.
Ousmane Dembele from Barcelona to Newcastle is unlikely
In our view, it is unlikely that Newcastle United will be able or even willing to sign Ousmane Dembele in the middle of the season.
Would the Magpies pay £44 million for a wide player in the middle of the season when they are about to sign Anthony Gordon for £45 million?
Moreover, Dembele is injured now and will be on the sidelines for four weeks.
Would the Frenchman himself be willing to leave Barcelona and join Newcastle when he is having a wonderful season on a personal level and is getting back to his best under head coach Xavi?
The £199,000-a-week (SalarySport) forward has made 14 starts and four substitute appearances in La Liga so far this season.
Dembele has scored five goals and provided five assists in those games.
