Ousmane Dembele holds the key to two grand signings for Barcelona
Barcelona are set to sign two superstars this summer transfer market, however, they must first get rid of their flop signing, Ousmane Dembele
Barcelona is set to face Celta Vigo tonight at the Estadio de Balaidos after a resounding victory against Villarreal in their opening fixture. However, the fixture against Celta will test Ronald Koeman’s tactics as the last time the Catalans faced them, the score ended 2-2 at the Balaidos after Iago Aspas scored a curling free-kick.

With just a few days left for the transfer market to close, Barca must start finalizing their deals if they are to sign players to bolster their squad. Koeman has already announced that Sergino Dest of Ajax Amsterdam has been signed and the player will have his medicals shortly.
The next two targets for the Catalans are Memphis Depay of Olympique Lyon and Gini Wijnaldum of Liverpool. However, before the Catalans can sign either of both the players, they must first get rid of Ousmane Dembele who takes up a massive portion from the wage payroll.
Italian journalist, Fabrizio Romano, has confirmed that Manchester United has reignited their interest to sign Ousmane Dembele. The Red Devils were eager on signing Jadon Sancho this summer to strengthen their right-wing. However, Borussia Dortmund is not willing to part easily with their global superstar this summer.
With Sancho not leaving Dortmund this season, United believe that a season-long loan for Dembele would be an ideal situation. It is rumoured that the Premier League side is willing to pay 50% of his weekly salary too.
This situation seems like an absolute advantage for the Catalans. The French forward is still one of the best talents in world football, however, he has failed to prove his worth due to his long history of injuries.
