Manchester United, Newcastle United and Chelsea are reportedly competing to sign Barcelona's Ousmane Dembele before the end of the January transfer window.
The France international has been told that he will be sold before the end of the month unless he signs the contract extension placed on the table by the Catalan giants.
The attacker is allegedly still open to remaining at Camp Nou, but Xavi's side are said to be preparing to move him on over the next few days, either on loan or permanently.
According to Marca, Man United, Newcastle and Chelsea are all keen to bring Dembele to the Premier League before the end of the winter window.
The report claims that 'a sale is the best solution for everyone', with Barcelona preparing for the World Cup winner's departure by re-signing Adama Traore from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Dembele - out of contract at the end of June - has been left out of his team's last two matchday squads amid the speculation surrounding his future.
The 24-year-old has again struggled with injuries during the 2021-22 campaign, being restricted to just 11 appearances in all competitions, contributing one goal and two assists in the process.
