Barcelona set to unveil Dembele

Their efforts to sign Liverpool’s Philippe Coutinho seem to have hit a roadblock, as they have now focus their attention on signing Dembele, Mundo Deportivoi reports.

Report claims that the 20-year-old is increasingly close to becoming a Barcelona player, as both clubs have edged towards reaching an agreement over a transfer fee.

Dembele is expected to cost Barcelona €130m in total, made up of an initial €100m payment with the additional €30m in performance-related bonuses.

Should Barca go on to complete the deal, it will be a welcome relief for supporters who have been anxiously waiting to see who the club will bring in this summer to strengthen the squad and give new boss Ernesto Valverde the best possible chance of competing for major honours in his first campaign in charge.

With Luis Suarez currently sidelined with an injury, Barca were still able to kick-start their La Liga season with a win at the weekend.

However it is clear that the focus is also on bringing in reinforcements before the transfer deadline to add to the key signings of Paulinho and Nelson Semedo this summer.

According to The SUN, they are now just ‘hours away’ from signing Dembele, a move that will work for all parties concerned as well as Liverpool who are now seemingly going to hold on to Coutinho.
