Liverpool will reportedly compete with Chelsea for Ousmane Dembele, who has an exit clause worth €50 million in his Barcelona contract.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Ousmane Dembele has emerged on the radar of Liverpool. The Barcelona forward, who has a release clause worth €50 million in his contract, is also a target for Chelsea.
Ousmane Dembele has finally found a stable footing in his career after a few years of inconsistent performances. Poor form, fitness issues, and attitude problems have hampered the Frenchman for much of his professional career. But the player has become a pivotal figure under the tutelage of Xavi Hernandez.
The 25-year-old has enjoyed a solid 2022/23 campaign, amassing five goals and seven assists in 20 appearances. And Dembele also played his part as France reached the 2022 FIFA World Cup final, where they lost to Argentina. Meanwhile, his progress has captured the attention of Chelsea and Liverpool.
Chelsea showed interest in Dembele in the last two transfer windows. But a move never saw the light of day as the Frenchman committed his future to Barcelona. But the Blues remain keen on signing the wide attacker amid the inconsistencies of Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech. And the Barcelona forward, who can play on either flank, has emerged as a viable target for Chelsea.
On the other hand, Dembele has previously been on Liverpool’s radar. But the Merseyside outfit never launched the offensive to sign the 25-year-old. However, with Liverpool failing to adequately replace Sadio Mane, Dembele is an option worth considering. In addition, his release clause, worth €50 million, makes him an appealing target.
The release clause worth €50 million takes Dembele’s future out of Barcelona’s hands. But recent reports have claimed that the French international does not want to join Chelsea. In addition, he might soon sign a new contract with Barcelona amid interest from the Blues and Liverpool.
Barcelona will initiate discussions with the player’s entourage over a new contract. And with Dembele showing no interest in joining Chelsea, the Blaugrana might have a solid chance of keeping him. But it will be interesting to see if Liverpool can turn his head with an offer worth €50 million.
