Ed's do you think we'll show any interest in Dembele? From various reports it looks like he's heading to Chelsea. Tuchel would probably be the man to get him back to where he should be after turning him into that player at Dortmund.

He'd be a good option under Klopp.

{Ed002's Note - Ousmane Dembele (RW/LW/F) Klopp's interest does not seem to go away but the attraction will be that he is a Free Agent in the summer - although his preference is likely to be elsewhere unless Salah or Mane were to leave and it seems likely Mane will. Barcelona have tried again with a new contract with no luck and his agent is offering him around - but he is looking for a very large signing on package wages. The issue with signing a new contract surrounds the same signing on bonus he is requesting from potential new clubs - the same is being asked of Barcelona. PSG are seeking a French player still but have a preferred option and they don't need an Mbappe replacement - although Dembele fits the bill as a Di Maria replacement. Injury concerns, inconsistent form and high wages must be considered by any potential buyers. His agent has been told to find him a new club, and has spoken with (at least) Manchester United, Newcastle, Spurs, Juventus, PSG, Liverpool, Chelsea and Spurs. Most English sides would want far lower demands to consider him, but both Klopp and Tuchel do still like him. A new contract is looking less likely as Barcelona are progressing on his replacement.}

It makes you wonder, if Klopp and Tuchel weren't keen on him at all, has there ever been a player that priced themselves into being a free agent?
