According to the British media "Daily Mail", there are two Premier League teams interested in Dembele, and Barca's price tag for him is 18 million pounds.
Dembele and Barca's contract expires this summer and the two sides have yet to agree on a contract extension, with Barca willing to sell the winger for around £18 million in the winter window. The Daily Mail said Dembele had been recommended to a number of Premier League clubs, two of which his agent said were interested in Dembele, and the Post said it was unclear which two.
Newcastle is considered one of them, but Dembele's £210,000 weekly salary is too high for them, and players are more interested in joining a team that can compete for European qualification.
At a previous meeting, Barca executives had made it clear that Dembele needed to find a new owner, and the move to sign Traore made their intentions even clearer.
