Chelsea ‘push hard’ to beat Juventus, Manchester United to Barcelona star

Chelsea will ‘push hard’ to sign Ousmane Dembele from Barcelona, according to Sport.

The 23-year-old has 18 months left on his current deal at the Camp Nou, meaning the summer window could be cash-strapped Barca’s last chance to see a return on the winger they signed for £90m plus add-ons in 2017.

Dembele is reportedly waiting to see who Barcelona’s new president will be before making a decision on his future.

Barca, who were revealed to have debts of over £1.1billion last week, may see Dembele as a sellable asset but any negotiation leverage disappear if he does not extend before the end of the season.

Juventus and Manchester United are also interested in the Frenchman.

Barca are keen to extend the 23-year-old’s contract, with free transfer merchants Juventus circling.

A move to Chelsea would see Dembele reunite with his former Borussia Dortmund manager Thomas Tuchel, who he views as the best coach he has worked with.
