Chelsea Lining up a potential bid for Barcelona's Ousmane Dembele


Chelsea are keeping close tabs on Barcelona Left winger Ousmane Dembele and are expressing strong interest in signing the Frenchman in the summer.

The Frenchman is currently out of contract in the summer of 2022 and although he is happy at Barcelona, it would appear he is reluctant to sign terms with the Catalan club. 

Dembele 23, has failed to cement himself as  a regular Barcelona player with his progress being hampered by injuries ever since he joined the Catalan club in the summer of 2017. 

However, as a result of the injury to Ansu Fati, Dembele has recently found form on the left wing for Barcelona, the winger has currently bagged six goals and three assists in 19 appearances across all competitions this season. 

Chelsea could possibly enter the race to sign the ex Dortmund star this summer, with the likes of Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Juventus interested in signing Dembele.

Even though he has spent three years in Spain, question marks still remain over Dembele's form, attitude and fitness both on and off the pitch. 

Barcelona expressed strong interest in selling Dembele on a permanent transfer in the summer however, the majority of the clubs who expressed interest wanting the Frenchman on a loan, a permanent move never materialised. 

With Dembele's current deal due to expire in the summer, Barcelona have certainly felt the financial implications as a result of the COVID19 pandemic as much all of the clubs in Europe, could possibly be forced to sell Dembele should the winger refuse a contact extension in the summer. 

We understand that the Frenchman's entourage are holding out on any talks of renewing a contact therefore, Barcelona may be tempted to cash in on the Frenchman should they receive the right offer at the end of the season. 

Despite a massive summer signing free, Chelsea have looked rather lacklustre up front this season with big money signings Kai Havertz and Timo Werner yet to adapt to the demands of the Premier League. 

Chelsea have been linked with numerous attacking options throughout the duration of the January transfer window however, need to trim their wage bill significantly if they are to add new signings to their squad this month. 

Taking all things into consideration, it would be an ultimate statement of intent from the Chelsea board if they were to sign Dembele in the summer.
