Barcelona move for Dortmund striker Dembele

Barcelona are ready to move for Borussia Dortmund striker Ousmane Dembele.

Should Neymar quit for PSG in the coming days, Barca are ready to put part of the €222m due from the Brazilian’s sale towards landing Dembele.

Diario Gol says the move has the backing of Barca star Leo Messi, though he is expecting more than just the French youngster to arrive to cover the loss of Neymar.

Messi’s favoured target remains Juventus striker Paulo Dybala, who he has become close to thanks to their time together with the Argentine national team.

Barca have been in talks with Dembele’s camp for several months – even before it became apparent PSG were serious about signing Neymar.
