Thus, the 26-year old is open for a new challenge having played for Bayern since he was a teenager. Barcelona are looking for a quality full-back who can compete with Jordi Alba and Alaba definitely fits the bill. However, any deal involving the Austrian will not come cheap and Barcelona could have another transfer saga on their hands in the summer.

Ousmane Dembele gives Arsenal fans hope for a summer transfer

The Frenchman has largely struggled to replicate his last season’s form and injuries have definitely not helped his cause. In recent weeks, he was linked with a move to Arsenal, and now the player himself has stoked the flames by speaking about his relationship with the Gunners’ January signing, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Dembele said:

Dembele definitely has fond memories of his time at Borussia Dortmund but he can be expected to stay put at Barcelona for now. The 20-year old is slowly rediscovering his form in recent games and has Ernesto Valverde’s vote of confidence.

Nevertheless, things can change quickly in football and Arsenal will have a slight advantage over other suitors if Barcelona want to sell him in the coming months.

Pep Guardiola looking to sign Antoine Griezmann

The Frenchman has been linked with a move to Camp Nou for quite some time now with a deal already being agreed doing the rounds. However, the Catalan side could be in for a shock if Spanish news outlet, Diario Gol, is to be believed. Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola, wants Harry Kane in the summer, however, it is his plan B which will worry the Blaugrana.

The former Barcelona boss wants Antoine Griezmann should a move for Kane fail, as per the report. Guardiola is willing to part with Sergio Aguero as a part of the deal. The latter has experience playing for Atletico and could very well agree to leave the Etihad, where he is a legend.

The report further states that the chances of Griezmann not going to Barcelona are minimal and that the forward has already rejected Florentino Perez’s advances to join Real Madrid. Nevertheless, unless he signs over the dotted line, Barcelona need to be on their toes with Manchester City joining the race.
