This summer, Ousmane Dembele has often been mentioned as one of Chelsea’s top offensive targets, but as the situation heats up, that chase may soon come to an end.
Ben Jacobs, a trustworthy transfer expert, claims that sources at Barcelona are assuring the club that Dembele will sign a new deal soon.
Although it hasn’t been decided yet, it appears that this one has gone against Chelsea and he will remain at the club.
Raphinha, another Chelsea transfer target, might be impacted, as Jacobs outlines in more detail below. Raphinha was interested in Barcelona, but if Dembele decides to stay, they might no longer need him, which might lead him to decide on Chelsea.
Situation remains the same: Dembele must decide within 48 hours. Chelsea interest is real but they won’t match his wage demands. If a formal offer materialises it will be higher than the renewal offer but for now Dembele only has one choice: sign or be without a club.

Barca sources talking with confidence that Ousmane Dembele will stay. At no point have Chelsea agreed terms so it’s really his only option unless something dramatic changes in the next 24 hours. No truth whatsoever in a late Liverpool bid. No interest at all. No PSG offer either.
