Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are competing with Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain for Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele, according to Sport.
Sport have reported that Liverpool, Chelsea and PSG all are interested in signing Dembele on a free transfer this summer.
Barcelona are still in talks with the France international forward over a new deal, according to the report.
The £287,000-a-week star (SalarySport) is out of contract at La Liga giants Barcelona this summer.
Sport have reported that Liverpool have made contact with the entourage of Dembele, and that Chelsea are determined to sign the 25-year-old, whose “pace is frightening in training”, according to comments from Lionel Messi in GiveMeSport in March 2020.
Liverpool or Chelsea for Ousmane Dembele?
In our view, if Ousmane Dembele has the choice to move to Liverpool or Chelsea, then he should join the Reds.
Sadio Mane has reportedly decided that he will leave Liverpool this summer, so a spot could open up in Jurgen Klopp’s team.
Now, we know that Liverpool have a very competitive attacking unit, but Dembele will be able to find a place for him in the starting lineup, especially if he plays the way he did in the second half of the season for Barcelona.
The Barcelona forward made 15 starts and six substitute appearances in La Liga this season, scoring one goal and providing 13 assists in the process.
