Signed for a staggering £135.5million from Borussia Dortmund in 2017 ([BBC](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41075084)), the World Cup winner has endured an [injury-plagued](https://readliverpoolfc.com/write/#kybfj38j) time at the Catalan giants.

Now according to a report from [Fichajes.net](https://www.fichajes.net/noticias/ousmane-dembele-planta-no-quiere-salir-mercado-invernal-20220111.html), Dembele could be seeking pastures new in the summer.

The report claims that it’s the Anfield club are in a position alongside Chelsea, Manchester United, Bayern Munich and PSG to land the [27-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ousmane-dembele/nationalmannschaft/spieler/288230/verein_id/3377) France star.

This season the man once hailed as an [‘exceptional player’](https://www.transfermarketweb.com/liga/liga-barca-dani-alves-praises-ousmane-dembele-s-talent-226598) by Dani Alves has earned an impressive [7.37 Sofascore rating](https://www.sofascore.com/player/ousmane-dembele/818244) from six La Liga outings.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Valued at £27million and out of contract at the Camp Nou in six months ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ousmane-dembele/marktwertverlauf/spieler/288230)), the report states that the Frenchman ‘wants to play in England’ soon.

Boasting a range of [strong attacking attributes](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/299513/Show/Ousmane-Demb%C3%A9l%C3%A9), Dembele certainly possesses all the talent in the world to thrive at the very highest level.

Badly hampered by injuries whist in Spain, Jurgen Klopp would have to guard against [signing another star](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/naby-keita/verletzungen/spieler/302215) who spends too much time in the treatment room.

Should fitness be deemed a non-issue, the forward would be the ideal candidate to offer competition and support to [Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah](https://www.givemesport.com/1815681-philippe-coutinho-exliverpool-mans-reply-when-asked-if-he-liked-salah-mane-firmino-song).
