Papers: Ousmane Dembele moving closer to Juventus

Ousmane Dembele is making headlines again on Wednesday with news that he could be tempted by a loan move to Juventus this summer.

Mundo Deportivo have the Frenchman all over their front page with the headline ‘Juventus-Dembele connection’ and an update on the forward’s future.

The report states that Dembele would “welcome” a move to Turin, while Juventus are also interested but would only want him on loan because of his injury record.

Maurizio Sarri’s side asked about him during negotiations about Miralem Pjanic because they need wide players to replace Juan Cuadrado and Federico Bernardeschi.

Dembele’s “dream” is still said to be succeeding at Barcelona, but he is drawn by the prospect of playing for another big club where he can win titles.

Another detail noted in the report is that Juve sporting director Fabio Patricio is a big Dembele fan and gets on well with the Frenchman’s agent.
