Liverpool face off with PSG for Barça star Dembélé

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is interested in bringing Barcelona winger Ousmane Demebélé to Merseyside this summer, but may face competition from Paris Saint-Germain.

Thomas Tuchel, the new PSG boss, is keen on reuniting with Dembélé, who he managed at Borussia Dortmund. The 21-year old Frenchman joined the Catalan giants last summer, and due to an early injury, his debut La Liga season was highly disruptive.

With Antoine Griezmann likely to join from Atlético Madrid this summer, Dembélé could well make way and according to Le 10 Sport, who cite Mundo Deportivo, Klopp would be keen on bringing him to Anfield.

However, Mundo Deportivo also state that PSG would be Dembélé’s preferred option.

They aren’t the only site to link Liverpool and the dynamic wing maestro, with Spanish outlet Don Balon also writing a story on the situation.

Don Balon, as reported by the Express, claim that Liverpool have already had a bid for the winger accepted by Barcelona.

The Reds finished their season last weekend by losing in the Champions League final to Real Madrid in agonising fashion, and they know they will need more to compete next campaign.

Don Balon don’t mention a fee, but do suggest it is close to the £134million Barcelona spent when they signed him from Dortmund last summer.
