Ousmane Dembele’s Barcelona future discussed by pundit
Manchester United and Chelsea are both said to be keen on signing Ousmane Dembele, but the Frenchman is apparently eager to stay at Barcelona. Dembele has a big summer approaching, and could well be sold.
Barcelona winger Dembele is a man in demand at the moment.
The Frenchman is wanted by both Manchester United and Chelsea ahead of the summer transfer window.
He was wanted by the Red Devils last summer after they failed to sign Jadon Sancho, but Dembele opted to stay put.
The winger, who has failed to find his feet since moving to Barca for £117million in 2017, is under contract until 2022 but is yet to sign an extension.

Barcelona are eager to avoid losing him for free in a year’s time, when he will be eligible to sign a pre-contract agreement with a foreign side.
As a result, reports had suggested Barca would look to sell him in the summer.
United and Chelsea have both been tipped to move for him at the end of the season, and are said to be watching his situation closely.
But now, they could both miss out, as reports suggest Dembele has told Barca he wants to stay put.
