Two teams 'interested in taking Ousmane Dembele on loan'

Two teams have reportedly signalled a desire to sign Barcelona attacker Ousmane Dembele on loan for the remainder of the 2021-22 campaign.

Dembele is currently in a war of words with Barcelona, having been told that he will be sold by the Catalan giants before the end of the January transfer window after failing to sign a new deal.

The France international's existing terms with Xavi's side are due to expire at the end of June, and it appears that he has played his last game for the club.

Manchester United, Juventus and Chelsea are allegedly among the clubs interested in signing the attacker on a free transfer at the end of the season.

However, according to Sport, the 24-year-old could be leaving Camp Nou on loan this month, with two teams, including one from Germany, interested in signing him on a short-term basis.

Dembele was left out of the squad against Athletic Bilbao in the Copa del Rey on Thursday and is also unlikely to be involved in Sunday's La Liga contest with Alaves.

The Frenchman has scored once and provided two assists in 11 appearances at club level this term.
