Barcelona are confident of striking a deal for Borussia Dortmund striker Ousmane Dembele.

The youngster went AWOL from training yesterday as Barca tabled an opening bid - which BVB confirmed they had turned down.

However, Dembele expects to be a Barca player soon - so much so that he is already house hunting close to the city.

Diario Sport says a local real estate source has confirmed Dembele's camp have been seeking a luxury home for the Frenchman in the Gava Mar area.

BVB are demanding at least €100m for Dembele, who only moved to Dortmund a year ago from Rennes for €15m.
