Dembele ‘makes Barcelona transfer request’

Ousmane Dembele has reportedly asked to leave Barcelona in January.

The 105million euros signing from Borussia Dortmund has not been a regular starter under boss Ernesto Valverde this season, struggling to displace Philippe Coutinho from the team.

He came off the bench to score the equaliser in Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Atletico Madrid but Goal report that the 21-year-old will be allowed to depart Camp Nou in the forthcoming transfer window if a buyer prepared to pay big money can be found.

The report suggests that Dembele, whose off-field attitude has been questioned in the past, could be used in a makeweight to bring Neymar back to Barcelona. The Brazilian left to join Paris Saint-Germain in the world-record transfer deal of 222million euros in the summer of 2017.
