According to CM, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool could pay Ousmane Dembele‘s release clause and sign the Barcelona forward.
The Italian news outlet has claimed interest in Barcelona forward Dembele from Liverpool.
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 Liverpool could pay it.
Could Liverpool sign Ousmane Dembele from Barcelona?
In our view, it is unlikely that Liverpool will be able to sign Ousmane Dembele from Barcelona in the January transfer window.
We do not think that the former La Liga and UEFA Champions League winners will sell the 25-year-old in the middle of the season.
After all. Barcelona are in a very good position to win La Liga this campaign, and Dembele is an important player in Xavi’s team.
The Barcelona no. 7 has made 14 starts and four substitute appearances in La Liga so far this season.
Dembele – whose “pace is frightening in training”, according to comments from former Barcelona star Lionel Messi in GiveMeSport in March 2020 – has scored five goals and provided five assists in those games.
Moreover, the former Borussia Dortmund star is injured now and will be on the sidelines for four weeks.
True, if Liverpool trigger Dembele’s release clause, then Barcelona will not be able to stop the Reds from speaking to the Frenchman.
However, would Dembele himself leave Barcelona now and join a club who may not finish in the Premier League top four and who are up for sale?
Would FSG actually pay the £44 million needed to sign the forward now when they are trying to sell the club?
