Borussia Dortmund have identified the figure for which they are prepared to sell Arsenal and Barcelona target Ousmane Dembele, as the Catalan giants push hard for his signature.
The 20-year-old has been in impressive form for Dortmund since joining the club from Rennes last summer and it has led to interest from some of the biggest names of Europe.
Dortmund have already rejected bids from Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain for the impressive French winger, but are under real pressure from Barcelona to allow him to move to the Nou Camp.
With the €222m earned from Neymar’s move to PSG burning a hole in their pocket, Barcelona have identified Dembele as one of the players they want to sign in the final month of the transfer window.
They have been accelerating their efforts to sign Dembele and a delegation from Barcelona met Dortmund on Turesday to discuss the outlines of a proposed agreement.

After initially rejecting the idea of selling the 20-year-old, Dortmund are now prepared to sell the winger but have made it clear to Barcelona what kind of fee they want.
According to French sports daily L’Equipe, the BVB have made it apparent that they won’t be selling Dembele for anything less than a €120m figure this summer.
Dortmund paid around €15m to sign him from Rennes just a year ago, but are demanding eight times the figure from Barcelona this summer.
Dembele is keen to move to the Nou Camp and has been waiting patiently to see the two clubs reach an agreement over a fee.
