Barcelona attacker Ousmane Dembele is reportedly in talks with Juventus over a proposed move to the Italian champions during next summer's transfer window.
The France international was strongly linked with Manchester United in the latter stages of the recent market and would have allegedly moved to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side on loan for the 2020-21 campaign if he had agreed to sign a new contract at Camp Nou.
The World Cup winner ultimately remained with Ronald Koeman's side, but he has only played 20 minutes of La Liga football this season and his long-term future at the club is unclear.
According to Cataluyna Radio, the 23-year-old was never seriously interested in moving to Old Trafford and is currently in talks with Juve over a move to Turin next summer.
Dembele's existing deal with Barca is due to expire in June 2022, placing the Catalan giants in a weak negotiating position if they are unable to tie him to a new contract.
The attacker, who was also linked with Liverpool over the summer, has scored 19 times and contributed 16 assists in 75 appearances for his current side in all competitions.
