Some big breaking news this Tuesday morning involves Chelsea and one transfer target they have been linked with for many months now.

It’s always been said that Ousmane Dembele from Barcelona is a target high on the list for Thomas Tuchel, and the winger becomes a free agent in just a matter of days now.

Sources: The latest on Chelsea’s plans for returning loan players this summer.

It’s been a very up and down situation, and of course, as has always been the case, he COULD still decide to stay at Barcelona and renew his deal with them.

However, Chelsea HAVE thrown a real spanner in the works at the last minute, according to the reliable French outlet, L’equipe.

They claim, via Get French Football News, that Chelsea have offered a contract to Dembele and that now he must decide between taking a reduced salary offer from Barcelona, or accepting Chelsea’s offer and joining them in a few days when he becomes a free agent!
