Manchester United and PSG among three teams that will fight to sign Barcelona free-agent in the summer

Despite talks of a potential contract termination, it seems like Ousmane Dembele will be staying put at Barcelona for the rest of the season.

The 24-year-old has angered the club with his attitude, having refused to sign a new contract and also rejecting proposals from the likes of Chelsea and Tottenham to leave the club in the January transfer window.

Even though he has constantly stated that he wishes to stay at Camp Nou, the Frenchman has shown no commitment towards the club, refusing to sign a downward renewal so that the Catalans can free up room on the wage bill.

There will be no fresh contract offer made to Dembele and he will be leaving the club at the end of the season. And, SPORT is now reporting that Manchester United, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain are the three clubs in the race to sign the ex-Borussia Dortmund forward.

Manchester United have held a long-standing interest in Dembele and have made multiple attempts to sign the winger in the past. With Mason Greenwood indefinitely suspended, a new forward in the summer will be a necessary addition, making the Barcelona contract rebel a viable target.

Juventus, too, are long-term admirers of Dembele and have already held talks with his representatives over a possible Bosman move in the summer. The taxation laws in Italy could enable the Bianconeri to offer the ex-Rennes prodigy a handsome contract to lure him to the Allianz Stadium.

PSG’s interest in the Frenchman is also no secret. The Ligue 1 bigwigs are already believed to have reached a verbal agreement with Dembele over a move. Having made attempts to sign him in January, they will again push to sign him at the end of the season, as a replacement for Kylian Mbappe.

Dembele will remain at Barcelona for the remainder of the campaign. As to whether he will play for the club again, president Joan Laporta has claimed that the decision is totally up to manager Xavi Hernandez.
