Ousmane Dembele is a potential summer transfer target for Liverpool, according to AS, as translated by Sport Witness.

Dembele is currently at Barcelona, but he has flattered to deceive since joining from Borussia Dortmund in 2017. The La Liga giants are reportedly willing to sell the forward for €80 million this summer, with the Reds seen as a possible option.

The Frenchman is thought to be keen on a move to the Premier League, with Barca more than happy to sell.

I don’t think Liverpool should go near Dembele this summer, with the 22-year-old failing to live up to the type since his Dortmund days. He has only played nine times this season, scoring once, and there are serious question marks about his fitness.

While Dembele is a very talented young player, there is too much working against him joining Liverpool, with his attitude also questioned by some. The Reds have a great team spirit under Jurgen Klopp – the last thing they need is a disruptive, expensive influence coming in that might affect that negatively.

I would be surprised if Liverpool entertained the idea of signing Dembele, when they could instead focus on securing the services of Timo Werner, who is not only cheaper, but a far more consistent performer in recent years, scoring 27 times this season.
