Manchester United, Juventus to battle for Ousmane Dembele?

Manchester United and Juventus could reportedly lock horns for the signature of Barcelona attacker Ousmane Dembele during this summer's transfer window.

Dembele was strongly linked with a move to Man United last year, but the Red Devils were only allegedly interested in a loan deal for the France international due to his injury troubles.

The 23-year-old has been a regular for Barca during the 2020-21 campaign, scoring nine times and contributing four assists in 35 appearances in all competitions.

The World Cup winner's current deal at Camp Nou is due to expire next June, though, and according to Mundo Deportivo, he will either sign an extension or be put up for sale this summer.

The report claims that Barca are not prepared to allow Dembele's contract to enter its final 12 months, which has alerted both Man United and Juve, with the pair considering making offers.

The former Rennes youngster has scored 28 goals and registered 20 assists in 109 appearances for his current side since arriving from Borussia Dortmund in August 2017.
