Chelsea Transfer News: The La Liga champions believe their star attacker has already ‘signed’ a pre-contract agreement with Chelsea.

Barcelona believes winger Ousmane Dembele has already “signed” a pre-contract agreement with Chelsea ahead of the summer transfer season. This was according to Spanish daily Sport [Print Edition] via Sport Witness (h/t Football. London). After all, he is set to leave Camp Nou at the conclusion of the season and could wind up in England.

This will be a wonderful deal for Chelsea if the former Mainz coach can assist the France international in realizing his full potential. So far, the winger has performed admirably under Xavi Hernandez’s tutelage.

Marina Granovskaia’s fans are now hoping that she will live up to her reputation and consider the risks involved before coming to terms with the attacker.

Chelsea Transfer News: Dembele’ contract with his current club

Dembele’s current contract with the Catalans will expire after the 2021-22 season. That implies he is currently legally able to sign a pre-contract agreement with clubs outside of Spain. And Barca feels “everything points” to his agency already having a contract with another club.

Furthermore, the Blaugrana believes the Blues are the ones who have acquired the 24-year-services old’s for the coming season. Last month, the English club was eager to complete a deal for him. Hence, it is understandable why the La Liga team came to this conclusion.

Chelsea to sign Dembele?

Chelsea Transfer News: While the Frenchman has battled to stay in shape during his time in Spain, he has been able to do so since his most recent setback.

As a result, any significant risk associated with signing him might be mitigated by a free transfer. Barcelona believes Ousmane Dembele and Chelsea have reached an agreement.

However, a Bosman transfer is rarely accompanied by a signing-on incentive or agency fees, which add to the list of moving expenses. There’s no word on whether that will be included in any potential deal here. However, netizens hope the team considers the financial implications of signing the Frenchman before moving forward.

Furthermore, the West London club would be prudent to reconsider the Borussia Dortmund player’s present £210,000-a-week salary contract in Barcelona. His recent efforts do not appear to justify such a high price tag.

If they sign Dembele, he will reunite with Thomas Tuchel, who he played with at Stade Rennais. During their time at Signal Iduna Park, they were both extremely successful.

Under Tuchel’s tutelage, the winger has appeared in 49 games, scoring ten goals and assisting 21 times.
