Newcastle look set to open their lavish transfer business this month by moving for Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele, with the mega-rich club having reportedly tabled a 'monster offer' for him.
Dembele, 24, is able to walk away from the Nou Camp for free at the end of the season and, despite his injury woes, a host of elite clubs from across the globe are certain to be keen to swoop.
One of these sides is said to be Newcastle, who are now able to invest their hefty war chest after being taken over by a Saudi-backed consortium.
