According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona have put Liverpool-linked Ousmane Dembele up for sale, along with Samuel Umtiti, Carles Alena, Martin Braithwaite and Junior Firpo.
The France international was wanted by Jurgen Klopp on a season-long loan deal back in September, according to a report from Spanish outlet Sport.
Ronald Koeman has been told that he’ll need to sell before he can sign two targets of his in Eric Garcia and Memphis Depay.
Mundo Deportivo’s report states that Dembele would bring in the most cash if Barcelona can get him off the books, as well as the ex-Borussia Dortmund forward’s fellow World Cup winner Umtiti.
You would like to think that the former Rennes winger would recoup a bit of money for Barcelona at least, given how much the Spanish giants spent on him.
In 2017, the Blaugrana parted with an initial £96.8 million to sign the attacker.
The five-year deal was said to potentially rise to £135.5 million according to the BBC.
Whether or not Klopp remains interested in the 23-year-old is a mystery, especially seeing as Diogo Jota has recently arrived at Anfield from Wolves.
However, when a player of Dembele’s calibre gets put on the market, it’s difficult to turn a blind eye to his availability.
