Juventus preparing move for Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele
In the modern world of football, the transfer season lasts year-round. While the literal transfers of players take place in the summer and winter windows, rumors, speculation and even concrete agreements can happen any time.
The latest reports in England and Spain suggest that Juventus are preparing move for Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele.
The France international was signed by Barca in August 2017 from BVB for a fee of 135 million euros. The 23-year-old has a contract until 2022 with the club.
The forward has featured in 39 matches this term, netting 10 goals and providing 4 assists in all competitions.
The 23-year-old is considered to be one of the best forwards in France.
As a member of France national football team, Dembele won 23 caps and he scored 3 goals.
Juventus are looking to sign a forward and have identified the 23-year-old as potential transfer target. They have built a reputation for recruiting young talent from within Europe, predominantly targeting those with sell-on value and immense potential.
The Italian giants are in the market for just a handful of statement signings who can improve the first-team.
Ousmane Dembele is a dynamic forward, who possesses good technical skills and ball control. His tricky dribbling, fantastic shot and pace make him a nightmare for any defender to defend.
There is no doubt that Dembele will take Juventus’ attack to a different level.
According to the report, “Juventus are ready to bid for Barcelona attacker Ousmane Dembele. With his deal running to 2022, negotiations between Barca and Dembele’s camp have stalled this month. There is a belief inside Barca’s dressing room that Dembele is now prepared to run down his contract next season. However, Mundo Deportivo says should Dembele’s position not change, then Barca will seek to sell this summer. And Juventus have now made contact with Barca and Dembele’s agents to register their interest.”
