Bayern want to sign Ousmane Dembele!

Things are getting hot at FC Bayern at the moment. While the 2021/22 season has officially ended today, those responsible are working flat out on the squad for the new season. FCB is currently associated with a number of players. According to current reports, Barça star Ousmane Dembele is also on the record champion’s wish list.

Konrad Laimer, Ryan Gravenberch, Sebastian Haller, Sasa Kalajdzic, Sadio Mane, Frenkie de Jong and now Ousmane Dembele? In view of the latest media reports, Bayern sports director Hasan Salihamidzic seems to be very busy on the transfer market. One thing is clear: Munich neither can nor want to sign all of these players. However, the many rumors show that Bayern are thinking about many players.

As “Sky Sport UK” reports, in addition to Sadio Mane, Dembele has now also become an issue on Säbener Straße. The Frenchman, who is currently under contract with FC Barcelona, ​​is available on a free transfer in the summer and has been repeatedly linked with the record champions in the past.

According to “Sky” information, there have already been initial contacts between Bayern and the player side. As the pay TV broadcaster reports, Bayern have had Dembele on their radar since his time at Borussia Dortmund.

In the past few days, reports have been circulating that Barcelona would like to try again after the collapsed contract talks in winter in order to retain the winger in the long term. The problem: The club has difficulties in making him a competitive offer due to its tense economic situation.

Dembele as Gnabry replacement?

The 24-year-old Frenchman would not be a 1-1 replacement for Robert Lewandowski, as he primarily acts as a winger on the right flank. However, he could replace Serge Gnabry on the Isar, who is willing to change and who is also flirting with a Bayern farewell.

However, it is unclear whether Bayern are actually willing to manage the financial framework of a Dembele transfer. Even if this is available free of charge, a handsome earnest fee including salary is due. Specific numbers are not (yet) known. In addition to Bayern, Dembele should also be a hot topic at Chelsea and especially at Paris Saint-Germain.
