Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd chasing Barcelona star but unwilling to pay more than €60m

Ousmane Dembele’s time at Barcelona appears set to end after just one season and Arsenal are believed to be among clubs interested in signing the France international.

The 20-year-old has made just 12 appearances for the Catalan club this season after spending several months on the sideline with a hamstring injury, and the forward has lost the trust of his teammates and senior members of the club hierarchy.

A number of clubs want to sign Dembele, who scored 10 goals and provided 22 assists last season for Borussia Dortmund prior to his £110m move to the Nou Camp, but they aren’t ready to meet Barcelona’s asking price.

Don Balon claim that interested clubs are only prepared to stump up €60m to sign the former Rennes standout, but Barcelona aren’t willing to take such a big hit on their investment.

Dembele is even said to be willing to leave on loan in order to prove himself, with Chelsea named as a potential destination for the attacker, but both Manchester United and Atletico Madrid are also said to be interested in him if he becomes available.
