Chelsea have reportedly made their first formal offer to Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele, although their terms still remain short of the France international's demands.
Dembele is set to leave Barcelona as a free agent when his contract expires at the end of June, and Thomas Tuchel is eager to bring him to Stamford Bridge. The pair previously worked together at Borussia Dortmund, where Dembele shot to prominence, and the German is no doubt hopeful of recapturing that magic in west London.
Paris Saint-Germain have also previously held an interest in Dembele, but a change in structure at the Parc Des Princes has complicated their position. The January transfer window saw Chelsea attempt to sign the 25-year-old, but a deal could not be pushed over the line.
