European champions Real Madrid have entered the chase for Arsenal and Barcelona target Ousmane Dembele this summer.
The 20-year-old winger’s future at Borussia Dortmund has come under the scanner in recent days, with a number of top European teams looking to snare him away from the Ruhr.
Dortmund have already rejected bids from Arsenal and PSG this summer for Dembele but Barcelona have been the ones who have been putting in a real effort to take him to Spain.
A Barcelona delegation met Dortmund officials earlier this week and the Bundesliga giants have made it clear that they won’t sell Dembele for anything less than €120m.
But it seems Barcelona are set to face competition from their fiercest rivals Real Madrid for Dembele as according to Spanish daily Mundo Deportivo, the European champions have entered the transfer mix for the Frenchman.
