Newcastle United are making a serious move for Barcelona attacker Ousmane Dembele.

The attacker's current deal runs to the end of the season and talks over new terms have stalled.

Mundo Deportivo says there's major concerns that Dembele is ready to commit to Newcastle after receiving a stunning contract offer.

Newcastle have tabled a deal worth €15m-a-year - plus a €15m signing on bonus. The proposal has Newcastle now regarded as favourites for his signature.

Also in contact are Manchester United, which were close to signing Dembele before he suffered a knee injury with France at summer Euros.
