Could Liverpool really tempt Barcelona into selling the young star?
According to a report from the Daily Mail, Liverpool are interested in signing Barcelona’s Ousmane Dembele this summer.
Jürgen Klopp went as far declaring his interest in the France international yesterday, although it did appear that his comments were slightly tongue in cheek:
“Is he on the market? Now I’m interested.”
Dembele joined Barca from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2017, for a fee that could eventually rise to £135 million, according to the Guardian, but he has struggled to establish himself as a first-team regular at the Camp Nou.
He still possesses incredible talent, however, and at the age of just 20, he will surely go on to become one of the world’s best players.
The Daily Mail claim that Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp is a big fan of Dembele, and sees him as the ideal summer addition to his squad.
The Spanish giants would surely be mad to give up on the 20-year-old so quickly, however, and it would undoubtedly take a mammoth bid from the Reds in order to even tempt them into selling the youngster.
The Merseyside outfit do have plenty of cash available, though, and in football, you just never know.
