Barcelona resume interest in exciting French winger
Barcelona reportedly made some approaches to sign him but the player snubbed a move to the Nou Camp because, Mundo Deportivo claims, he ‘did not want to be relegated to benching role’ and preferred to playe first-team football in Germany instead.
Dembele has seven goals in 16 assists in 36 appearances with the Bundesliga giants and his contract expires in 2021. Despite his long-term deal in Germany, however, Barcelona will make an attempt to sign the player in the summer because Dembele would fit as a regular starter on the right in Barcelona’s new 3-4-3 system as Messi’s usually plays as support striker in the team’s new system.
