Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele will reportedly make a final decision on his future within the next 72 hours.
The 24-year-old has been strongly linked with a move away from Camp Nou this summer as his contract is due to expire on June 30.
Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich are believed to be the three clubs battling to sign Dembele on a free transfer, with the former allegedly the frontrunners for his signature.
According to the Daily Mirror, Barcelona held fresh talks with Dembele's representatives on Monday, but both parties were unable to resolve the player's future.
The reports adds that Dembele's chances of extending his Barca contract remains up in the air despite discussions with head coach Xavi, who cut short his holiday to hold talks with the Frenchman's agent Moussa Sissoko.
Barcelona's contract offers are understood to have failed to match the 'realistic' demands from Dembele's representatives, and the Catalan giants would now like the winger to contemplate his future within the next few days before making a final decision.
Chelsea are now waiting in the wings to discover Dembele's verdict, with head coach Thomas Tuchel allegedly keen to reunite with the former Borussia Dortmund winger at Stamford Bridge.
