Juventus has been handed a boost in their bid to sign Ousmane Dembele as Barcelona struggles to keep the Frenchman.
Dembele signed a two-year deal with the Catalans in the summer as they fought to keep him for another period.
The Frenchman is now enjoying his best spell with them in terms of fitness and they do not want to lose him.
However, he would be out of a contract in 2024, which means they stand to lose the former Borussia Dortmund man on a free.
They are now looking to tie him down to a new long-term contract, but it is hard for them to achieve that.
The Catalans have well-publicised financial problems and want to re-sign Lionel Messi, so they are in a tough position. A report on Calciomercato reveals Dembele could eventually leave them, placing Juventus in a good position to land him.
Juve FC Says
Dembele is one of the world’s finest attackers and will do well at many clubs, including Juve.
Adding him to our squad would be smart, but he will have many suitors if he leaves Catalonia.
This means signing him could come down to which club offers him the most money, and we might struggle to compete.
Dembele would not do well at Juve. We are the graveyard for any attacker with a mind of his own. Under Allegri he would be starved of opportunities, just like Vlahovic.
Why in the world would you want Dembele? Lol…
Another injury prone talented attacker on huge wages playing in a block of 8 to defend with all his might for 990 minutes and hope to get to the opposition box a couple of times …what a surprise!
