A report claims that Manchester United and Arsenal may engage in negotiations with Barcelona over French forward Ousmane Dembele.

Ousmane Dembele is reportedly still attracting interest from Manchester United and Arsenal as he prepares to enter the final 18 months of his Barcelona contract.

The France international was touted as a target for United in the summer transfer window after the Red Devils missed out on primary target Jadon Sancho.

Arsenal have also been credited with an interest in the past, but both clubs are believed to have been put off by Barcelona's huge asking price.

Barca paid an initial fee of £96.8m to Borussia Dortmund for Dembele in August 2017 and are supposedly looking to recoup that sum in full.

Spanish outlet Sport claims that United and Arsenal may yet revive their interest, though, with the 23-year-old's valuation depreciating with each window.

Dembele has been restricted to three La Liga starts this term and is due to become a free agent in June 2022, with Barca said to be willing to negotiate with any bidders.
