Barcelona target Dortmund winger in place of Coutinho

Barcelona is set to sign Borussia Dortmund winger Ousmane Dembele following his incredible break out season, the Catalan giants have identified him as a transfer target.

According to The Sun, Barcelona has informed Philippe Coutinho that if they fail to lure him to the Nou Camp they will turn their attention to signing Ousmane Dembele instead.

Barcelona has already had one unsuccessful bid for Coutinho and could have a further disappointment with Jurgen Klopp adamant he is not for sale.

The Camp Nou giant is currently in the process of lining up potential replacements for Neymar, who is subject to a move to Paris Saint-Germain this summer.

It is understood that Barcelona offered £72m for Philippe Coutinho and Borussia Dortmund would command a similar fee for their talented French winger.

This, of course, should come as no problem to Barca who is reportedly set to receive a massive £200m should they lose Neymar to PSG. Ousmane Dembele registeredan impressive eight goals and 18 assists in Bundesliga and Champions League last season.
