Real Madrid battle Barcelona for Ousmane Dembele’s signature

Real Madrid are ready to battle La Liga rival Barcelona, for the signature of Borussia Dortmund’s Ousmane Dembele.

According to Catalan broadcaster, RAC 1, Madrid want to hijack a move for the 20-year-old.

Dembele has been suspended and fined by Dortmund, after failing to report for training on Thursday, amid speculation that he wants to join Barcelona.

It is understood that Dembele prefers a move to the Camp Nou, but Madrid president Florentino Perez has asked his counterpart at Dortmund, Reinhard Rauball, to keep him abreast of the France international’s availability before a move is made.

Barca have seen an off rejected already, but are expected to return with a new bid closer to Dortmund’s asking price of €120million – €150 million, in an effort to get the deal done.
