Barcelona to move for Lyon’s Moussa Dembele?

Barcelona have reportedly been in touch with Lyon striker Moussa Dembele as they seek a replacement for Luis Suarez.

The Catalan giants had been expected to bring in Lautaro Martinez as Suarez’s replacement but talks have stalled and the Argentine’s high price is a problem for Barca.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Barcelona now appear to have turned to Dembele as a possible reinforcement in attack.

Henrik Larsson, who has recently arrived at Barcelona as Ronald Koeman’s assistant, has been in contact with the 24-year-old.

New Barcelona manager Koeman has apparently “given his blessing” to Dembele potentially arriving at the Camp Nou this summer.
