Barcelona reportedly consider a move for Borussia Dortmund attacker Ousmane Dembele.

Barcelona have reportedly switched their focus to Borussia Dortmund star Ousmane Dembele.

It seems that the Catalan giants will lose Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain after the club confirmed that he has been given permission to miss training.

Reports have claimed that the Brazilian has informed his teammates that he intends to leave Camp Nou amid rumours that PSG are willing to pay his €222m (£198.6m) release clause.

Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho has been heavily linked with a switch to Spain, but the Reds' determination to keep hold of the playmaker has forced Barcelona to consider other options.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Dembele is the Catalan club's first choice, and the 20-year-old is believed to be keen on joining the European heavyweights.

Dembele signed for Dortmund from Rennes in 2016.
