Struggling Barcelona Forward Linked To A Potential Transfer To Juventus

It is expected for players of Barcelona to live up to the high standards of what the organization stands for. With multiple factors to consider in a season, rumors of player movements constantly circulate. One of these is Barca player Ousmane Dembele who is linked to a potential transfer to Juventus.

The forward-right winger has been with the club since 2017 and his contract is set to expire in 2022. Despite this, reports have surfaced that the club is not entirely satisfied with Dembele’s performance.

The 23-year-old may show potential on the pitch but this hasn’t translated much into individual success. While he has shown flashes of brilliance, the French player has a lot to learn in the coming years.

Throughout Dembele’s stint in Barca, he has amounted to a total of 74 appearances for the club. Since 2017, he has scored 19 times and assisted for 17 goals. This pace isn’t in par with his previous stints from other clubs. During his stay with Bundesliga's Borussia Dortmund, his 50 appearances led to scoring on 10 separate occasions and assisted for 22 goals.

Per Everything Barca, Juventus has garnered interest for the French attacker due to his natural scoring ability. In the upcoming transfer window, Juventus could pick up Dembele as a way to assist in their roster. The addition of his presence can be a way to support Juan Cuadrado on the pitch. Also, a resurgence of Juventus’ lineup can be of big help to Douglas Costa who is now approaching his 30s.

As Barcelona is stacked with great attacking talents such as Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, a potential transfer can be beneficial for Dembele’s career. While it’s important that one learns from the greats of the game, it’s also a big aspect to be able to play with significant minutes and not come off the bench.

It is believed that Juventus is inclined to opt for a loan deal with a buy-out clause in order for the club to see how he fares in the upcoming seasons.

With everything that has been happening in the past few months, teams remain relentless in finding the best players for their club. If this deal pushes through, it will be interesting to see how Dembele can turn his career around with a new team.
