Liverpool will have to pay £85m to land Ousmane Dembele

Ousmane Dembele has failed to live up to expectations at Spanish side Barcelona.

The Frenchman made a £120m move to the Nou Camp from Borussia Dortmund in 2017 but injuries and poor discipline have meant that he has not managed to succeed at the club.

Barcelona are ready to offload him and according to a report on the Daily Star, they will consider offers starting from £85m.

Liverpool were heavily linked with a move for Dembele last summer but that did not materialise and they have been mentioned as one of the teams interested in him now.

Manchester City, Chelsea, Juventus and Bayern Munich are amongst the other sides that are keeping an eye on the 22-year-old.

£85m in the current market for a player of Dembele’s quality doesn’t seem like too bad of a price.

However, his fitness problems are a major concern as he seems to keep on picking up injuries.

His discipline also isn’t the best, but that is definitely something that Jurgen Klopp can sort out.
