Ousmane Dembele will leave Barcelona during the summer transfer window.

The French striker has entered the final year of his contract with the Catalan club and refused to leave in January.

Dembel was very close to transferring to Chelsea, with the London team having made an official offer on the last day of the January transfer window.

The Londoners had offered 10 million euros, an offer that was accepted by Barcelona, ??but that was rejected by the footballer himself.

The 24-year-old liked the transfer to Chelsea, but he had a strong reason for refusing the transfer in January to Stamford Bridge.

According to the Catalan newspaper Sport, Dembele refused the transfer to Chelsea in January as it would directly affect his salary.

The French international has thus left to join the Londoners in the summer as a free agent, where he will receive a higher salary and cash as Chelsea will not have to pay the club for his card.

The footballer’s agents are discussing his contract with Chelsea, but they also have contacts with Juventus, Manchester United and Paris Saint Germain.

However, the departure of the Frenchman from Camp Nou is safe, with Chelsea remaining the favorite team to receive his services.
