According to Sky Sports, Ousmane Dembele is likely to move to the Premier League with Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool all interested in his services.
What’s the story?
Well, Dembele’s situation at Barcelona recently went public when Mateu Alemany – Director of Football at the Camp Nou – advised him to leave.
The Spanish giants had been trying to renew the £135.5m man’s contract for roughly seven months, but have now seemingly grown frustrated at his lack of commitment.
Now, Dembele’s representatives – Moussa Sissoko and Marco Lichtsteiner – are working to find a solution for their client.
The drama comes after TEAMtalk revealed that Liverpool want to sign the France international, who becomes a free agent in June.
Elsewhere, it was Tutto Mercato Web who claimed that Tottenham are interested, whereas Arsenal’s admiration for Dembele was revealed on The Transfer Window Podcast.
So far this season, the 24-year-old has scored just one goal in 11 appearances for Barcelona.
Tottenham, Arsenal or Liverpool could get a bargain
Sadly, Dembele’s situation at Barcelona has turned toxic.
Sky Sports add that the winger is hoping to stay in Catalonia for the rest of the season, but Barcelona want him gone and have threatened to leave him on the sidelines if he doesn’t depart.
Barcelona have offered Dembele a new short-term contract with a wage reduction, which he is unwilling to sign.
Now, Tottenham, Arsenal or Liverpool could get themselves a bargain.
It wasn’t long ago that Dembele was one of the most feared attackers in Europe, after scoring ten goals and providing an incredible 21 assists for Borussia Dortmund in the 2016/17 campaign.
That earned him a £135.5m move to Barcelona, where he has sadly stagnated during what is arguably the most chaotic period in the club’s history.
Nevertheless, Dembele is still just 24, and if he can rediscover his Borussia Dortmund form in the Premier League, he could take England by storm.
Keep an eye on this saga, as Dembele looks destined to leave Barcelona.
