The French international has an uncertain future ahead of him with multiple reports linking him with a move away from Camp Nou this summer but also having the possibility of him remaining at the club.
Dembele has had an unfortunate spell at Barca with reoccurring injuries haunting the talented winger. Many believed that this was because of Barca’s failure of recognising that his explosive nature and pace require a different training method that would cater to his needs.
Regardless, Dembele is still favored by current boss Quique Setien as he remains optimistic about the 23-year-old’s capabilities and talent. Setien strongly believes that the World Cup winner has what it takes to succeed at Camp Nou.
But the Barca hierarchy are open to the idea of selling the youngster for the right offer with many European giants looking into the possibility of acquiring the Frenchman. Dembele’s representative, however, believes that he will not be leaving Barca this summer.
"“I don’t expect Dembélé to leave Barcelona.” Moussa Sissoko told L’Equipe, reported by Mundo Deportivo."
Juventus have been linked with a move for the forward after failing to secure Arthur Melo. They are looking into the option of including Dembele in Miralem Pjanic‘s deal. The Italian side are looking to add depth to their attack and find the French international to be the perfect candidate for a loan move. The Turin based club do not want to sign the injury-prone winger permanently to avoid any problems with his recovery in the future.
Guillem Balague, a Spanish football pundit, also confirms that Dembele has no intention of leaving the Nou Camp this summer and looks to prove his worth at the club.
