Barcelona are reportedly ready to offer Ousmane Dembele to Arsenal in exchange for Hector Bellerin, but it surely won’t happen.
According to Spanish media outlet and well-known gossip mongers Don Balon, Barcelona are prepared to offer Ousmane Dembele to Arsenal as part of a potential deal that would see Hector Bellerin head to the Camp Nou.
The 20-year-old has struggled for fitness and form since making his £135.5 million switch from Borussia Dortmund to Barcelona in the summer of 2017, but the idea that the Spanish giants are prepared to offer his services in exchange for the Arsenal man seems quite simply absurd.
Dembele is still considered to be one of Europe’s most talented young players, despite his recent struggles, and he surely still has a huge part to play in Barca’s future.
Bellerin, on the other hand, has proven time and time again that he is nowhere near the level needed to play for a club like Barcelona.
His positional sense is questionable to say the least, and his concentration levels are bordering on poor to put it kindly.
The 22-year-old Spaniard might still one day play for Barcelona, but Don Balon’s report suggesting that Dembele will be offered to Arsenal in exchange for his services should be taken with a pinch of salt.
