Barcelona make Arsenal transfer target Ousmane Dembele available for just £53m despite splurging £135.5m on him
BARCELONA will reportedly let Arsenal target Ousmane Dembele leave for just £53million this summer.
The Spanish giants are prepared to cut their losses on the 22-year-old despite signing him for £135.5m in 2017.
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.
