Following Ousmane Dembélé’s contract extension conundrum at Barçelona, Chelsea are keeping close tabs on him. Early this week, Xavi Hernandez insisted that the 24 year old is free to leave the Spanish club if he wishes. His agents have refused to respond to contract extension terms with Barcelona that means he won’t stay with them next summer being his last season.

Barcelona would now consider to sell him to Chelsea this summer according to a reputable Spanish reliable media outlet Mundo Deportivo as confirmed by Managing Barca. Marina Granovskaia is tasked to complete his move so he can reunite with Thomas Tuchel whom he worked with at Dortmund in 2017.
