Chelsea 'make offer' for £287,000-per-week forward Jurgen Klopp wanted at Liverpool

Former Jurgen Klopp Liverpool transfer target Ousmane Dembele has been offered a contract by Chelsea, according to a report.

French outlet L’Equipe is reporting that Thomas Tuchel’s side have made an offer worth £287,000 a week for the Barcelona winger, who has again been linked with Liverpool. Chelsea are looking to reshape their squad following the club's takeover by the Todd Boehly-Clearlake Capital consortium. They are also set to sign Raheem Sterling and rumoured Liverpool target Raphinha.

Dembele, a French international, joined Barcelona from Borussia Dortmund for €145m in 2017. He is set to leave the Catalan club once his contract expires at the end of June. Reports in Spain emerged that Barca manager Xavi was desperate to keep the 25-year-old. Dembele’s time at Camp Nou has been hampered by injuries, scoring 32 goals in 150 appearances over five seasons.
