Barcelona set to offer Dembele to Liverpool

Barcelona are set to offer Liverpool the chance to sign French winger Ousmane Dembele in January.

According to The Daily Star, Barcelona are expecting Liverpool to be interested in signing the forward.

Dembele has struggled for form at Barcelona since his move from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2017 and is reportedly facing issues off the pitch.

Barcelona officials spent hours searching for Dembele after he went missing from training recently, raising concerns over his professionalism.

The Spanish giants paid £96m for Dembele, which is how much Liverpool will have to pay if they want to land him in the next transfer window.

The report claims that Barcelona are concerned that Liverpool will not be willing to meet their valuation, which would break the Premier League side’s transfer record.

Virgil Van Dijk is currently Liverpool’s club-record signing at £75m, when he joined from Southampton in January of this year.
