Chelsea could complete first big signing NEXT WEEK!
Chelsea may be able to sign Ousmane Dembele as early as next week, according to reports.
Dembele has been in the news a lot in recent months as it was revealed that he is ready to leave Barcelona during the summer window.
Despite Xavi’s desire to keep the Frenchman, the club has been unable to reach an agreement on a new contract with the winger, and clubs have been circling for some time looking for a possible transfer.
Chelsea and PSG are the two front-runners for Dembele’s services, since both clubs can offer Champions League football and the £350,000-a-week salary that he supposedly wants.
However, it appears like WE will have a clear shot at signing Dembele, as the Sun has not reported that PSG has decided against making an offer for the Frenchman.
Barcelona’s dreams of launching a bidding battle for the winger have been dashed, according to the source, as new PSG sports director Luis Campos is claimed to have vetoed a deal for the French international.
According to the rumours, the club might announce Dembele’s signing as soon as next week, after offering the Frenchman a four-year contract for around £300,000 per week.
