Barcelona 'prepared to sell Ousmane Dembele'

Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool have been placed on high alert with the news that Barcelona are reportedly prepared to sell France international Ousmane Dembele.

The 21-year-old joined Barcelona from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2017, and the attacker has scored nine times and registered nine assists in 35 appearances for the Spanish champions.

Dembele's off-the-field conduct has been called into question in recent weeks, however, after turning up late for a pre-match meeting ahead of the recent Champions League clash with Inter Milan.

Rafinha was preferred to Dembele in the starting XI for El Clasico at the weekend, meanwhile, despite Lionel Messi being on the sidelines.

According to RAC1, Barcelona are now ready to cut their losses with the attacker, which has alerted Premier League trio Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool, who have all previously been linked with a move.

Dembele has scored five times in 12 appearances for Barcelona this season.
