The France forward joined Barca in a then club-record deal
of €105million last summer, but his impact at the Nou Camp has been
badly hampered by a spate of lengthy injuries.
The 20-year-old has a
€400million buyout clause in his
Barcelona contract, but reports in Spain suggest the La Liga pacesetters
are ready to waive that by offering him to a number of suitors for a
supposed cut-price €150million (£130.95million) this summer.
Don Balon claim Barcelona have already given
Atletico Madrid first refusal on a deal for Dembele as a sweetener and
as part of their proposed plans to take Antoine Griezmann to the Nou
Camp in a €100million deal this summer.
However, with Atletico uncertain whether to spend so much on
one player, it’s claimed Barcelona have also held talks with both
Chelsea and Manchester United over the potential sale of the seven-times
capped France star.
Of the two clubs, the Spanish outlet reckons Chelsea look
most likely to take Barcelona up on the offer, particularly if they lose
Eden Hazard amid claims he will be the subject of a summer approach
from both Real Madrid and Manchester City.
For Dembele’s part, it would be a massive shame to see his
dream Barcelona move turn sour so quickly, especially given the promise
he showed during his one season in the Bundesliga with Borussia
Dortmund.
The player has made seven appearances for Barcelona so far, including just four in La Liga, and is yet to score for the club.
