The current week has brought some very bad news for Barcelona, as they are on the brink of losing one of the mainstays in their attack, Neymar. The Brazilian skipper has been linked with a transfer to the French Ligue 1 side Paris Saint Germain and is reportedly on his way to attend the medical recently as well, with only formalities remaining to announce him officially as a PSG player for the next season.
This has left the Barcelona fans heartbroken and the Barcelona team management in dire straits, as it will be quite difficult for them to bring in someone of the same quality of the superstar forward for the next term. However, they are looking to make it a good season despite the loss of the free-scoring forward and have already eyed a number of players who can come up as a potential replacement for Neymar.
One such player, who had a great season in the last campaign with the German club Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga, Ousmane Dembele, is being looked up as the most likely option to be included in the team for the next term in the Blaugrana lineup.
The French youngster has been more than impressive for the German giants in the last term and played a very crucial role in the success of the team. He was one of the biggest influencing factors for his club and helped them to make it into the final of the German Cup, which they won by 2-1, beating fellow Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt.
Dembele had been brought into the club in 2016 and has played 49 games for the club. He has been one of the most highly regarded young players in the current situation and has found the net ten times throughout the last term. He also supplied 21 assists for his teammates, helping them to score goals and make it a successful season for them.
The former Spanish champions, who lost their crown to arch rivals Real Madrid, have been looking forward to bag the 20-year old winger from Borussia Dortmund to add to their roster for the next season, with his spark of brilliance making them realise that he can become a good replacement for the Brazilian superstar in their side for the next season.
Neymar has been one of the most successful players for the Catalan giants in the last few seasons in the Spanish La Liga as well as Europe, and the experts are sure that with players like Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez by his side, the young French forward can be very lethal for Barcelona in the next season.
