Liverpool handed huge boost as UCL giants 21-year-old star eyes summer exit

Ousmane Dembele is reportedly prepared to leave Barcelona this transfer market after learning the Catalan club had signed Brazilian prodigy Malcom.

Blaugrana completed the £37 million summer deal for the Bordeaux winger on Wednesday, and Brazilian ace has passed his medical.

Ousmane has been connected with Liverpool, and their league rivals Arsenal and Chelsea this transfer window.

But it seemed all hope of a reported deal for the France international was doomed as Barcelona did not want to sell and the winger was not keen on a move.

However, Ousmane was upset to hear about his side’s new addition as Malcom is a similar age and wants to play on the right wing.

That position puts former Bordeaux player in direct competition with Frenchman, who also likes to play on the right, but can operate on either wing of attack or behind the centre-forward.

Dembele is now exploring his variants, according to Cope, which opens the door for his admirers to start making swoops for his services.


The last season, in all competitions, World Cup winner Ousmane Dembele made 24 appearances, netted four goals and provided nine assists.
