Barça and Man Utd alerted as Pep identifies Bundesliga star as possible alternative to Alexis

Barcelona and Manchester United are on red alert as one of their main transfer targets is being eyed by their former boss Pep Guardiola. According to a report of The Sun, the Spanish manager has set his sights on Borussia Dortmund star Ousmane Dembele.
The Frenchman is being heavily linked with a move to Barcelona but he also dropped some social media hints regarding his appreciation for the Red Devils.

The British tabloid, however, suggests Manchester City have also entered the race to sign the 20-year-old who had a stunning campaign with the Bundesliga giants last season having scored 10 goals and registered 20 assists in 49 appearances in all competitions.

​Dembele, however, is reported not to be Manchester City’s primary target as Pep Guardiola’s priority is to seal the transfer of Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez whose contract with the Gunners expires in 2018.

If Pep fails to reach an agreement with the Gunners, he would then pounce on the transfer target of his former club and his former best enemy José Mourinho.
