According to Marca, Barcelona will let the Frenchman leave in a cut-price deal to free up space in their squad.

Should he sell for £53m, the Spanish giants would have made a huge £82.5million loss on the 22-year-old.

Dembele has been heavily linked with a move away from the Nou Camp after starting just three LaLiga games this season.

He has racked up a total of 19 goals in 72 games since he joined from German giants Borussia Dortmund.

The 22-year-old arrived with huge expectations, but a long-list of injuries has led to him being labelled a flop.

He is currently nursing his tenth injury of his Barcelona campaign after undergoing surgery on his hamstring.

Manchester United and Arsenal are among the clubs that could offer the wide-man a fresh start at the end of the season.

But both of the Premier League sides are reluctant to splash the cash on him until they investigate his injury curse.

Reports claimed United had the edge over the Gunners as Dembele has been in contact with Anthony Martial to discuss life in England.
