Ousmane Dembele, who is coveted by Chelsea, has a bright future, according to renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
The Barcelona winger's contract, which expires on June 30, has not yet been extended. The French player, who appears destined to become a free agent, reportedly rejected the Blaugrana's final contract offer, according to Cadena Ser. The possibility of moving to Chelsea, who are interested in him, has now become more viable. According to Dean Jones, Dembele was widely linked with a transfer away from the Camp Nou in January but decided to stay. Manager Xavi successfully reintegrated him into the group, and he flourished. Despite playing only 21 games, Dembele finished the season as the league's best assist producer (13) with 11 assists in his final 13 league outings.
The Frenchman, according to Romano, is willing to stay at Barcelona because of his "connection with Xavi," although the club has denied that he is considering the contract offer. The winger requests a better deal. The Blues want him to work with Thomas Tuchel again, who was his manager at Borussia Dortmund.
"Despite having long since expressed his desire to stay with the team—especially in light of his friendship with Xavi—Ousmane Dembele has yet to accept Barca's most recent offer. The situation is still open since he would want a better offer and the club is currently preoccupied with other transactions. His name is still on the list for Chelsea, "According to Caught Offside, Romano said.
Barcelona's debts could reach €1.5 billion, so they are unlikely to agree to Dembele's demands. Additionally, according to Sport, the team is in negotiations to bring in Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich. They might therefore lack the resources necessary to make a better offer for the winner of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Ousmane Dembele, a winger for Barcelona, may no longer be of interest to Chelsea.
According to Chelsea News, Chelsea is worried about Ousmane Dembele's history of injuries while playing for Barcelona.
Due to repeated ailments, the 25-year-old played in just 50 La Liga games in his first three seasons with the team. Due to knee and hamstring injuries, he was out for the first four months of the previous season.
He might find it difficult to adjust to and keep up with the Premier League's frantic pace and physical demands. Therefore, the Blues might decide to forego their pursuit of the Barcelona star in favor of Raheem Sterling of Manchester City.
With at least 10 goals in each of the last five league seasons, the 27-year-old attacker has been among the Premier League's most reliable scorers over the years. The international player for England only has one year left on his City deal.
