Barcelona's Asking Price For Ousmane Dembele Is Interesting Premier League Sides

Dembele's current contract is due to expire at the end of the season, and the club have been desperately trying to sign him to a new one.

Cynics had suggested the club were going to sell him once he'd signed the new deal but, with them failing to get his signature, the club put out a statement last week saying they are going to sell him in January.

Whilst the player isn't too impressed with being forced out it does look like he has options with both Newcastle United and Manchester United supposedly interested.

According to Le Parisien, the reason the two English sides are looking at him is because of the paltry £17 million price tag, that would see Barca make a huge loss on the France forward.

They signed Dembele in 2017, as they looked to replace Neymar, who'd just moved to PSG for a world record £198 million transfer fee.

The former Rennes player had only been at Borussia Dortmund for a season, after they paid around £30 million for, but his form meant a huge increase in his value.

Newcastle could be the perfect move for Dembele, with Eddie Howe's side now flush with cash following their Saudi takeover at the end of last year.

Creative players such as Jesse Lingard and Dele Alli have been mentioned as potential targets and a move for Dembele could be perfect for them.
