Chelsea are said to be monitoring Ousmane Dembele’s situation closely over the next day, according to reports. It comes as the Frenchman’s contract at Barcelona is set to expire on July 1.
The 25-year-old has been linked with a move to the Blues since January, where his contract situation created uncertainty surrounding his future. A move to Stamford Bridge could see him reunite with former boss Thomas Tuchel, as the German coach looks to reinvigorate his forward line.
It comes after a season of struggle in front of goal for the west London outfit, though new ownership has signalled a change in the hierarchy as well as the squad. Tuchel is believed to have over £200million to utilise in the transfer market, with a chance to make some key additions.
