The French winger can leave for any club he likes at the end of the month for free

Ousmane Dembele’s future always seems full of surprises. Barcelona have been planning for a life without the forward but the Frenchman has not told the club what he is up to and has an offer from them on the table still.

In England they say the player has not said yes to Chelsea because Xavi has asked the club to make a last ditch effort to keep him. Chelsea are getting tired of Dembele’s attitude.

He has to decide his future in a week’s time, with Chelsea, PSG and Bayern all options, but Barcelona have learned he has no agreement with any of them.

Chelsea are moving towards Man City winger Raheem Sterling. Tuchel likes Dembele but the Blues are not keen on his high sign on fee and wages. Barcelona know there are formulas to explore but won’t go over the top in trying to renew him.
