Ousmane Dembele is going to be one of the most in demand free agents this summer – so much in demand, in fact, that Chelsea look to have already missed out on signing him.
The winger has had an up and down spell at Barcelona after making a monster money move from Borussia Dortmund. He’s shown his brilliant talent at times, but has also been held back by constant injuries.
He would be a gamble for any club, but certainly one worth taking for most.
It looks like PSG – who else – who are rolling the dice.
🚨 Ousmane Dembele has rejected Barcelona's contract offer and will sign for #PSG.

Robin Bairner is reporting that the winger has rejected Barcelona’s renewal offer and will now move to Paris.
That’s a big – albeit risky – option off the table for Chelsea, who would have loved the chance to get a free transfer in themselves, given they’re losing several of their own.
But once again these sanctions have hurt us, and we will have to see how Dembele gets on from afar.
