After new Owner: Chelsea agree in pole position to sign No.7 France international
Chelsea in pole position to sign No.7 France international Chelsea and PSG are leading the way in the battle to add Ousmane Dembele on a Bosman move in the summer transfer window. The two teams stay in negotiations with the Barcelona winger, who could depart the club as a free agent. France international joined the Blaugrana from Borussia Dortmund in summer 2017 amid a lot of hype surrounding the winger. Dembele was widely regarded as a possible long-term successor for Neymar following the Brazilian forward’s surprise move to PSG, but he has been blighted by several injuries in the last four and a half years, with his attitude also questionable. To date, Ousmane has emerged a sub-par tally of 31 goals and 24 assists in 133 games for the Blaugrana. And as things stand, the 24-year-old winger will leave the Catalan giants as a free agent after the two sides reached a point of no return during deal renewal negotiations last month. The French forward’s situation has not gone unnoticed, with some of the biggest teams in Europe, including Chelsea and PSG, setting their sights on the attacker. The Blues had also been heavily linked with the Frenchman in the winter transfer window, but a move did not materialise. Chelsea might need to sign a wide-attacker in the summer amid uncertainties surrounding the futures of Pulisic, Werner, and Lukaku. To that end, the former Borussia Dortmund winger continues to be in negotiations with the Blues over a potential move in the summer transfer window.
