Ousmane Dembele is close to joining Paris Saint-Germain from FC Barcelona, but there are still a few details to settle before finalizing the transfer.
Luis Enrique hopes to have his man soon, and the Spanish coach is preparing another assault on his former club, according to Diario AS, as he is also keen on signing Ansu Fati this summer.
Fati has been linked with a move away from Barcelona at the start of the summer, although recent reports indicate a departure could be possible which could give PSG a window of opportunity to sign the 20-year-old. Fati and Dembele are also good friends which could make it easier to reach a deal.
Xavi Hernandez is unlikely to see Fati as a starter for the coming season as he is expected to favor the four-midfielder tactic that worked so well last season.
If the operation materializes, it will be of great help to FC Barcelona, which is experiencing financial difficulties. Fati is a product of the La Masia academy, so any money received from PSG would be pure profit for the Blaugrana.
Despite these reports, Fati hasn’t shown any signs of wanting to leave Barcelona either now or in the future. So, even if PSG want to reach a deal, it will probably be difficult to agree on personal terms, even if an offer is accepted.
