It seemed that the forward had everything settled to sign for PSG, it would have been a special request from Kylian Mbappe, and he was going to meet again with Lionel Messi, with whom he played in the Spanish team, however, Moussa Sissoko, the player’s agent said: “Ousmane’s future remains open. We are and have always been very respectful to all clubs, and this will continue to be the case while the process is ongoing. When it is the right time to make a decision, Ousmane will consider the best option for his future”.

Signing for Liverpool would be a great opportunity for Dembele, the French player was never quite comfortable at Barcelona, he had many injuries and problems with the fans. At the same time, he is a player who could be a perfect fit for Klopp’s style of play. He is dynamic, skillful, fast, and has a great 1vs1.

The player currently earns 9,900,000 euros per year at Barcelona, something the Reds can afford. Time will tell if Dembele will be a Liverpool player next season, but Chelseaare also interested in signing the player.
