Barcelona open to letting Ousmane Dembele join Liverpool

Barcelona are open to the possibility of selling forward Ousmane Dembele this summer, less than a year after first signing him, according to reports.

A number of clubs, including Liverpool, are interested in the player and the Reds have apparently let Barcelona know that they’re willing to do a deal.

Dembele joined Barcelona for a fee of  £135 million but has found it tough to make much of an impact spending much of his first season on the treatment table.

Even when he has been available, January signing Philippe Coutinho has been selected ahead of him which has cast doubt over his future.

Dembele scored just three times in La Liga this season and is keen for a fresh start which he would be afforded under Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool, and there is talk that Barcelona would be willing to let him leave on loan for a season.

Liverpool would prefer a transfer but the option of taking such a special player for a season might be tempting for Klopp.
