According to Diario Sport, Barcelona's Ousmane Dembele is the subject of interest from a number of companies.

The Frenchman's contract with the Barcelona comes to an end in the summer of 2022, which has sparked a lot of debate about his future.

Barcelona have not given up on keeping the young player, and there is a chance that he will stay in Catalonia for a short time.

While Dembele is happy with his current role at Barcelona, his agent has stated that a move elsewhere could see him earn double what he does at Camp Nou while also having a chance of winning trophies.

Barcelona are attempting to combat that by offering Dembele a lower salary with various bonuses that could see him become one of the club's highest earner if he and the team perform well.

The man signed from the German team will have a two year contract.

If they don't get Dembele to sign before January, they will have to sell four or five players to make room for two attackers in the winter window.

Paris Saint-Germain could even get involved, because they are all watching what happens in Barcelona.
