Report: Liverpool plotting to sign £97m ‘frightening’ player… for nothing
According to TEAMtalk., Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are interested in signing Ousmane Dembele from Barcelona, but they will face competition from Chelsea and Manchester City.
According to TEAMtalk, Liverpool is preparing an offer for Dembele on a free transfer next summer.
The France international forward’s contract with Barcelona expires at the end of the season.
Chelsea and City have already made contact with the 24-year-representatives. old’s
Juventus and Bayern Munich are also interested in the former Borussia Dortmund star, who cost Barcelona an initial fee of £96.8 million in the summer of 2017, as BBC Sport reported at the time.
LIVERPOOL’S MISTAKE?
Dembele is an undeniably gifted player.
And he’s 24 years old.
Dembele’s prime will not come for a few years.
According to GiveMeSport, former Barcelona forward Lionel Messi said about Dembele in March 2020: “His training pace is terrifying.”
We can see why clubs like Liverpool and Chelsea would be tempted to sign the Frenchman on a free transfer next summer.
The 24-year-old, on the other hand, will earn a lot of money.
Dembele is said to earn £200,000 per week at Barcelona, according to TEAMtalk.
Dembele is unlikely to accept a significant pay cut to join Liverpool.
Then there’s the issue of the Frenchman’s numerous injuries.
Signing Dembele would be a huge risk for Liverpool.
Liverpool, we believe, should stay away.
