The transfer of Ousmane Dembele is all but imminent. The wait is almost over. We can see the finish line but for one reason or the other, the Blues have not managed to get the deal done yet.
It is clear that Thomas Tuchel wants Dembele. Chelsea had registered their interest in the Frenchman as early as January this year. The French international chose to see out his contract at Barcelona before considering a move away, but his positive relationship with Tuchel indicated that Chelsea would be high on his list of options this summer.
Considering that Dembele is now a free agent and the transfer window has opened, you'd expect Marina Granovskaia and her team of negotiators to have this transfer wrapped up already. There has been a lot of interest from PSG and Barcelona themselves, so now Tuchel's plan A could need some convincing.
