When Barcelona paid a large sum of money to bring Dembele to Spain from Dortmund, he was considered one of Europe’s top young players. Despite his undoubted skill, Dembele has failed to impress at the Camp Nou due to a combination of injuries and poor form.

Certainly, there is talent. Indeed, Laporta, Barca’s president, once stated that Dembele is “better than Mbappe.” A massive claim that the Barca player has yet to respond to.

Dembele’s contract at Barcelona is expected to in the summer and that means Liverpool can acquire him as a free agent.
