Liverpool, Man Utd on alert as €400m Barca man up for grabs

Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele could be heading out of Catalonia in January, according to a report in Spain.

The 21-year-old’s time at Barca has not been as productive as he would have liked and even with Lionel Messi ruled out through injury, Dembele could only make the bench in last night’s 2-0 Champions League win over Inter.

He replaced Messi in the La Liga win over Sevilla at the weekend, but he has been far from a regular from Ernesto Valverde since his  £135.5million arrival from Borussia Dormund in the summer of 2017.

The spurious Don Balon claim Dembele could leave in January if an offer for him is tabled.

The report claims the forward has alienated team-mates with his behaviour by turning up late for training and lacking respect for his team-mates.

Denbele was linked with Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea this summer, but it seemed more in hope that reality with the player then happy and Barca keen to keep him in Catalonia.

However, the surprise £37million arrival of Brazilian winger Malcom in the summer was believed to have had Dembele asking questions about his future.

And now Don Balon claim the three-goal forward, who has a €400million release clause, is looking at all his options after recently falling out of favour at the Camp Nou.
