Niko Kovac Talks Up Ousmane Dembele Amid Barcelona Exit Rumours
Bayern Munich manager Niko Kovac has talked up Ousmane Dembele amid speculation the Frenchman could leave Barcelona in the summer transfer window.
The Croatian praised Dembele and spoke about how the potential return of Neymar to Barcelona could affect the 22-year-old's future at the Camp Nou, according to Sport.
"Dembele is a great player. If Barca finally bring Neymar back from PSG, it could increase the possibility of reaching an agreement for Dembele."
Bayern are keen to bring in wide players this summer as winger Arjen Robben has retired following the expiration of his contract at the club, while 36-year-old Franck Ribery has been released.
