Real Madrid Set To Hijack Barca Move For Dortmund Striker

Real Madrid is set to hijack Barcelona move for Borussia Dortmund Ousmane Dembele.

The Frenchman has been linked with a move to Barca since late last season, but the defender has refused to sign for Barcelona, and Sexta Deportes suggested he wants a move to Real Madrid.

The 20-year-old was in scintillating form last season for the Dortmund where he scores six goals and had 18 assists. Now, Sexta Deportes confirm that the Merengues want to spend a massive €80 million for the young French winger, only to loan him straight back to Borussia for a season.

Otherwise, the Bernabeu giants want to be given the priority to negotiate over the 20-year-old next season.

Don Balon wrote recently that Dembele has grown frustrated with Barcelona and has opted to join Real Madrid, irritated by the Catalans’ increasing focus on Philippe Coutinho.

Meanwhile, Barcelona has also enquired about Kylian Mbappe, the Camp Nou giants are preparing for life after PSG bound Neymar.
