According to latest reports, Barcelona are looking to offload Ousmane Dembele from their squad as the Frenchman has endured a tough time in his first season. He was brought in for €105 million plus €40 million in add-ons but the youngster hasn’t been able to justify his enormous price tag since his move from Borussia Dortmund.
The youngster was injured at the beginning of the season and since then he has found it tough to replicate the form he showed at the German club which made him a hot property in Europe. The reports suggest that Barcelona might move in for Antoine Greizzmann and that would probably mean the end of the road for Dembele at Camp Nou.
According to reports, Barcelona are ready to let him leave on a loan move or on a permanent basis and they have already started offering him to top clubs. The youngster managed 4 goals and nine assists in all competitions this season. The Catalonia giants should probably look to stick with him for another year as he was injured as soon as he came to his new club and that would have been a huge setback for the French winger. However, in a situation where the Blaugrana look to loan him, we look at three possible destinations he can go to.
Liverpool are considered the hot favourites to bring him in but recently Klopp was asked about such rumours to which he jokingly replied,” Oh! Dembele is on the market? Is he on the market? Now I am interested!’’
However, a move to Liverpool certainly won’t be a bad option as the Reds are currently thin on quality attacking outlet. They are heavily dependent on their front three of Salah, Mane and Firmino and if one of them gets injured, the Merseyside club doesn’t have an able backup option. Dembele can be that and provide the much-needed depth in the squad.
The Red Devils have been blamed for playing boring football as they have lacked that directness and attacking intent in their players. Dembele might just be the right man to provide that and bring a breath of fresh air in their attack for next season.

The Italian outfit has struggled on the attacking front as they have managed just 51 goals in their entire league campaign. They are in serious need of some players who can take the game by the scruff of the neck and provide the attacking outlet from the wings. Dembele will certainly be a good fit at the San Siro and he will be assured of regular starts as well which will help him in developing further.
