Barca’s Dembele Dilemma

The enigma that is Ousmane Dembele...

Barcelona look to be walking into the perfect storm with their young Frenchman, a player who cost the club €105m when he signed from Borussia Dortmund in 2017.

He’s been used sparingly ever since, and with 18 months left on his contract the Blaugrana must decide what to do.

They were prepared to move him on to Manchester United in the summer on a ‘loan with compulsory purchase option’, and although the clubs were close on the deal, the player himself turned United down, preferring to remain at Camp Nou.
