Barcelona president Joan Laporta has revealed that Ousmane Dembele could be 'tempted' by a summer transfer switch to Chelsea or another club in Europe, despite claiming that they have offered him a new and improved deal.
Dembele, 25, was the main topic of conversation during the January transfer window as Thomas Tuchel's side were heavily interested in paying a reduced fee to end his Barca nightmare. Injuries coupled with contract disagreements and a tense relationship between club and agent meant that all signs pointed towards the Frenchman seeking an imminent exit from Spain and La Liga.
However, his adamancy to want to stay put against Xavi's will at the time has looked like a smart decision with Dembele himself shining in helping provide assists for the likes of Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang and the other forwards that have gone up to the next level under the former midfielder's guidance.
