Barcelona agree deal with Ousmane Dembele to replace Neymar: £72m bid – Tancredi Palmeri

BARCELONA have agreed in principle a deal to sign Borussia Dortmund striker Ousmane Dembele to replace Neymar.
Neymar was unveiled as a Paris Saint-Germain player today after completing his world-record shattering £200million move.

Barcelona are desperate to sign a replacement ahead of the new season and are trying to land Philippe Coutinho from Liverpool.

But according to Italian journalist Tancredi Palmeri, Barca have agreed personal terms with Dortmund wonderkid Dembele.

And Palmeri added the Spanish giants are making a £72million (€80m) bid for the 20-year-old.




“Barcelona have reached an agreement on personal terms with Dembele and have decided to bid €80million for him,” he tweeted.

Dembele only joined Dortmund last summer but impressed in his first season scoring 10 goals in 49 games.

He now has seven caps for France and scored in their 3-2 win over England in June.

Barca’s move for Dembele could be good news for Liverpool and their chances of keeping Coutinho.

The Nou Camp club have also been linked with Chelsea’s Eden Hazard and Monaco’s Kylian Mbappe.
