Frenchman Ousmane Dembélé has not been slow in making a decision on where his next destination should be. At 20, the striker has quickly come to the conclusion that the best thing for his career is to make a jump forward and sign for Barcelona. It has not been difficult. Neymar's transfer to PSG leaves the way free to become the master and lord of one of the two bands of Camp Nou. If a year ago Dembélé didn't see anything clear about his signing for Barça due to shortage of time & opportunities he envisaged meeting this time he has been very receptive and has shown his willingness to become the substitute of Neymar.
The contacts have intensified in the last hours. Dembélé's agent has confirmed the striker's intention is to join Barcelona immediately to start a new stage in his short but intense football career, Which in just over two years has led him to train for the first time with the first team of the Stade Rennais (June 2015) to appear on the agenda of the main European clubs the following summer. Finally Dembélé left transferred to Borussia Dortmund for 15 million euros and a year later the club has knocked again at his door. Rumors This time Dembélé is ready to try his luck at the Camp Nou. It has been proven by the Blaugrana club in recent contacts.
The latest rumors about Real Madrid wanting to sign him have caused the club to move quickly to see firsthand whether the presence of a former Real Madrid player like Predrag Mijatovic (one of Dembélé's agents) in the Scenario has changed the situation. But the interest of Madrid has been, for the moment, a simple survey. Dembélé knows that at the Bernabeu he would meet BBC as competitors. Barca has taken things slowly so as not to make any strategic mistakes that could disrupt the operation.
They don't intend to start formal contacts with Dortmund leaders until the end of the German Super Cup vs Bayern Munich at Signal Iduna Park. Barça are aware that the price of the French striker has been altered by the 222 million euros that PSG has paid for Neymar and in a few days the value of Dembélé has gone from 80 to 100 million euros. Ousmane Dembélé is the player chosen by the club to occupy the area that has been freed by the escape of Neymar to the PSG. The striker is ready to take on the challenge of replacing the Brazilian immediately.
