The existing deal of the talanted Frenchman ends in three weeks, and a renewal is doubtful, with the Ex-Borussia Dortmund attacker set to link up Thomas Tuchel at Stamford Bridge.
It will leave a gaping hole in Barcelona’s frontline, with Raphinha of Leeds United being mentioned as the preferred successor for Dembele. The signing of the Brazilian, however, is proving difficult for the Blaugrana due to their financial position.
Admist this, Mundo Deportivo believes that PSG winger Angel Di Maria might be a viable option for Barcelona if they can fail to reach an agreement with Leeds United on Raphinha.
Di Maria, like Dembele, is expected to be a free agent this summer. The experienced winger parted ways with Paris Saint-Germain at the conclusion of the campaign and has been in negotiations with Italian giants, Juventus about a probable move.
Di Maria, on the other hand, is waiting to see whether a return to La Liga and a move to Barcelona is possible, according to reports, The Ex-Manchester United attacker wants to return to Spain 8 years after leaving arch rivals, Real Madrid and would be interested in joining Xavi’s side.
As a result, he is awaiting the outcome of the issue at Camp Nou involving Dembele and Raphinha in the coming weeks before making a decision on his future.
