Chelsea, Man Utd, Juve circle as Barca give up on Dembele

Ousmane Dembele’s time at Barcelona could be over with reports that his representatives have ignored the club’s latest offer.

AS reveals that the Blaugrana gave the 24-year-old until Jan. 15 to respond to a new contract offer, and with radio silence from Dembele’s camp, it is understood that manager Xavi Hernandez has been left feeling let down after welcoming the winger back into his first team activities.

Uncertainty over Dembele’s future has circled for a number of months, with his agent requesting a contract worth in the region of €240 million over five years and, as time ticks down on his current deal, there are already a number of rival clubs circling for his signature.

Sport writes that Chelsea have contacted Dembele’s representatives this month to test the waters over whether he could be persuaded to move to Stamford Bridge, while Manchester United and Juventus are also keen to acquire the France international on a free transfer.

Dembele joined Camp Nou from Borussia Dortmund back in 2017 in a deal worth close to £135.5 million.
