Chelsea are expected to wrap up a deal for Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele on a free transfer this summer, according to Mundo Deportivo.
The speculation surrounding the Frenchman’s future has gathered pace, with a contract extension yet to be agreed between the Catalan giants and the player.
He was linked with a number of elite clubs in the January transfer window. However, the aforementioned report suggest that Chelsea are edging closer to completing a deal for the 25-year-old upon the expiration of his contract in June.
If the deal goes through, it would see Dembele and manager Thomas Tuchel reunited, after the duo worked together at Borussia Dortmund in the 2016-17 campaign.
Dembele was then sold to the Blaugrana for a fee that could rise up to around €145m, where the winger has netted 32 goals in 150 appearances so far.
