Juventus burn off Man Utd, Arsenal with offer to Barcelona contract rebel Dembele

Juventus head the queue for Barcelona Bosman prospect Ousmane Dembele.

Sport says ater talks broke down this week with Barca, the player and his agent have an agreement in principle with Juventus.

The French forward is out of contract in the summer. But while he has reached a deal with Juve to join the Italian club in June, he is still waiting for an offer from Paris Saint-Germain.

Manchester United and Juve have both been in contact with his camp for months and made a proposal in the event he decided to run down his deal with Barça.

In addition, in recent weeks, Arsenal have also appeared on the scene as they rebuild under Mikel Arteta. They have a young squad and feel Dembele would be the star of the project moving forward.

Then there is Newcastle. The Magpies have a lot of money after being taken over by a Saudi Arabian investment fund and can offer him a huge salary.

However for now, it is Juve's offer which is favoured by Dembele and agent Moussa Sissoko.
