BARCELONA will have another tilt at landing Borussia Dortmund star Ousmane Dembele after failing to land him last year, reports claim.
But the Spanish giants will have to shell out a Bundesliga transfer record fee if they are serious about the attacker.
Kevin De Bruyne’s £55million move to Manchester City in 2015 is the current marker, and Barca, according to Bild, will have to go north of that sum to land Dembele.
The winger who gave the England defence the runaround in Paris last week is reported to be unhappy with the departure of Thomas Tuchel, who signed him from Rennes last summer.
The Catalan giants are prepared to offer the French international an escape route out of Germany after failing to convince him to make the move last year.
The youngster opted to join the Bundesliga giants, sensibly fearing he would not get a game ahead of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez.
An impressive debut season for Dortmund and Tuchel’s exit has given Barca a chance to exploit the turmoil around the club and land the winger for new boss Ernesto Valverde.
Dembele, who has a contract until 2021, scored ten goals in 49 appearances as Dortmund finished third in the Bundesliga last season.
His Moussa Sissoko has not confirmed Barca’s interest, but admitted some of Europe’s elite are monitoring his client.
